Susie Wiles, known as the "Ice Maiden," played a key role in Donald Trump's election victory. Trump mentioned her seven times in his victory speech, highlighting her contributions to his campaign, particularly in Florida. Wiles has a long political career, starting in 1979. She worked on Ronald Reagan's campaign and helped Rick Scott win Florida's governorship in 2010. She joined Trump's campaign in 2016 and was co-chair in Florida, where Trump won by 1.6 percent. Despite her influence, Wiles remains largely out of the public eye. She has been described as "the most feared and least known political operative" in the U.S., with her impact often recognized but rarely visible.
