Trump names Susie Wiles as first female White House chief of staff

Donald Trump has named Susie Wiles as his White House chief of staff. Wiles, who managed Trump's recent campaign, is the first woman to hold this position. Trump praised her for her toughness and innovation. Wiles was seen as the leading candidate but had conditions for accepting the role, including more control over who can meet with Trump in the Oval Office. This change aims to limit informal advisers' access, which was a challenge during Trump's first term. Wiles has a long history with Trump, having played key roles in his 2016 and 2020 campaigns. Her management style is credited with running a disciplined campaign, keeping fringe voices at bay.
