Susie Wiles

Trump’s new White House chief of staff Susie Wiles, Florida’s veteran political strategisthe is moving from his largely behind-the-scenes role as campaign co-chair to the high-profile position of the president’s closest advisor and lawyer.

A chief of staff serves as the president’s confidant, helping implement an agenda and balancing competing political and policy priorities. They also serve as gatekeepers, helping determine who the president spends his time with and who he talks to; It’s an effort that Trump has troubled in the White House.

The daughter of NFL player and sportscaster Pat Summerall, Wiles worked in the Washington office of New York Rep. Jack Kemp in the 1970s. This was followed by restrictions on him serving as a planner in Ronald Reagan’s campaign and in the White House.

Wiles later traveled to Florida, where he advised two Jacksonville mayors and worked for Rep. Tillie Fowler. After that came the statewide campaigns, where Florida politics was rough and tumble; Wiles is credited with helping businessman Rick Scott win the governor’s office.

After briefly managing Utah Gov. Jon Huntsman’s 2012 presidential campaign, he managed Trump’s efforts in Florida in 2016, and his victory in the state helped him clinch the White House.

Two years later, Wiles helped elect Ron DeSantis as governor of Florida. But a rift would develop between the two, ultimately leading to DeSantis calling on Trump’s 2020 campaign to cut ties with the strategist while the then-president reruns his state campaign.

Wiles ultimately went on to manage Trump’s primary campaign against DeSantis, defeating the Florida governor.

Joining Trump’s third campaign when it was still in its infancy, Wiles was one of the few senior officials to weather Trump’s entire campaign and was part of the team that put together a much more professional operation for his third White House bid. The president already routinely breached these guardrails.

As Trump celebrated his victory early Wednesday morning, he largely avoided the spotlight, even refusing to take the microphone to speak.

Trump met with four chiefs of staff during his first administration, including one who served in an acting capacity for a year, at a time when staffing losses were record-setting.

Stephen Miller

Trump named Stephen Miller, a longtime adviser and hard-liner on immigration, as his new administration’s vice president for policy.

Miller is one of Trump’s longest-serving aides since his first campaign for the White House. He was a senior adviser during Trump’s first term and has been a central figure in many policy decisions, particularly on immigration, including Trump’s move to separate thousands of immigrant families as a deterrence program in 2018.

Miller also helped craft many of Trump’s harsh speeches and was often the public face of those policies during Trump’s first term and campaigns.

Since leaving the White House, Miller has served as president of America First Legal, a group of former Trump advisers styled as a conservative version of the American Civil Liberties Union that has challenged the Biden administration, media companies, universities and others on issues such as . freedom of expression and religion, and national security.

She was also a frequent presence during Trump’s campaign this year, traveling on his plane and often speaking in front of Trump during pre-shows for his rallies.

Tom Homan
