Susie Wiles is a longtime Republican political consultant who led Donald Trump’s 2024 presidential campaign and became White House chief of staff when his second administration began in January 2025. She is known for steering high-stakes campaigns and for serving as a senior adviser on Trump’s political strategy.

Political Consulting Career

Wiles built her career in Florida politics, advising gubernatorial candidates and local officials while developing a reputation for disciplined campaign management. She worked on Rick Scott’s successful 2010 gubernatorial campaign and later advised municipal candidates and ballot initiatives that relied on targeted voter outreach and rapid-response messaging.

Trump Campaign Leadership

Trump tapped Wiles to help secure his 2016 victory in Florida, and she rejoined his political orbit to manage the 2024 presidential campaign. She oversaw field operations, media booking, and surrogate coordination, keeping the campaign aligned with the candidate’s messaging on social media and television while navigating legal and fundraising challenges.

White House Chief of Staff

After the 2024 election, Wiles transitioned into the role of White House chief of staff when Trump took office again on January 20, 2025. In that position she directs West Wing operations, manages senior staff, and coordinates the administration’s legislative and communications strategy. Her role ties the political tactics from the 2024 campaign to the decision-making structure of Trump’s second-term agenda.
