As President-elect, Trump is in the process of assembling his administration, selecting key figures to fill various top positions. Susie's appointment marks the first of these announcements.

The White House Chief of Staff is a crucial position, often described as the president’s “gatekeeper.” The role includes managing the White House staff, coordinating the president's schedule, and serving as a liaison with other government branches and lawmakers.

In a statement regarding Susie's appointment, Trump praised her as "a strong, smart, and innovative leader" who is "universally admired and respected." He expressed confidence that she would help make America proud in her new role.

Trump defeated Democratic candidate Kamala Harris in the US presidential election held last Tuesday. Since his victory, Trump has been spending time at his Mar-a-Lago club in Palm Beach, Florida.

Sources close to Trump say he is now focused on selecting individuals for top positions in his upcoming administration. Many of those under consideration have previously served in his earlier administrations.

Susie, a political strategist based in Florida, played a key role as one of Trump's campaign managers for this year’s election, alongside Chris LaCivita. Both Susie and Chris have been integral to Trump's campaign efforts, which, despite the challenges, were notably more disciplined compared to his earlier runs.

In his victory speech, Trump publicly thanked Susie and Chris for their hard work and dedication throughout the campaign.
