Trump names Susie Wiles as White House chief of staff

Donald Trump has named Susie Wiles as his White House chief of staff. Wiles, who managed Trump's successful 2016 and 2020 campaigns, is the first woman to hold this position. Trump praised her as tough, smart, and respected. Wiles had reservations about the role, seeking more control over who can meet with Trump in the Oval Office. This follows challenges faced by previous chiefs of staff in managing access to the president. Brooke Rollins, another candidate for the position, withdrew from consideration after it became clear Wiles was the frontrunner. Wiles has been a long-time adviser to Trump, playing a key role in his political successes.
