When Donald Trump took the stage in West Palm Beach, Florida to claim victory in last week's presidential election, he called his campaign manager Susie Wiles out from behind a row of his relatives to thank her.

President-elect Donald Trump announced that Susie Wiles, who managed his reelection campaign, would become his chief of staff. It makes Wiles the first woman to hold the role, the most senior political appointee in the White House with significant power and influence.
