New Delhi: America’s newly elected President Donald Trump has appointed his election campaign manager Susie Wills to the post of White House Chief of Staff. Susie can also be called Trump’s ‘Prashant Kishor’.
After this decision of Trump, she has become the first woman in history to hold this post. In an official statement, Trump described Susi as “tough, intelligent and innovative.” He said, “I have no doubt that she will make our country proud.” This appointment is the beginning of staff related announcements. Let us tell you that Donald Trump is preparing to take office on January 20, 2025. Susi’s selection is an important step for the president-elect, giving an indication of how his government will operate, as he rapidly assembles the team that will lead the US government. Who is Susie Wills? The daughter of National Football League (NFL) player and sports broadcaster Pat Summerall, Susie Wills began her political career in the Washington House of New York Republican Jack Kemp in the 1970s. She later joined Ronald Reagan’s presidential campaign in the 1980s, which began her involvement in national politics. After Reagan’s presidential campaign, she moved to Florida, where she advised two mayors of Jacksonville and worked for Republican Tillie Fowler. He managed high-stakes election campaigns in Florida’s extremely competitive political landscape, where he is credited with helping businessman Rick Scott achieve the governorship. He managed the 2012 presidential campaign of Utah Governor Jon Huntsman before leading Donald Trump’s 2016 campaign in Florida. This was an important victory that contributed to his path to the White House. In 2018, Susie played a key role in Ron DeSantis’ successful bid for Governor of Florida. However, a rift soon developed between them, leading to DeSantis pressuring Trump’s 2020 campaign to sever ties with him, despite his role overseeing Trump’s Florida efforts. Susi later led Trump’s primary campaign against DeSantis, dealing a decisive blow to the Florida gubernatorial ambitions. According to Trump aides, Susi is a person who is able to control the president-elect’s impulses. Not by telling them what they should do, but by showing them that they feel better when they listen to their advice. Earlier, during a speech in Pennsylvania, Trump changed some of the content of his speech and suggested that he would not mind if a journalist was shot. News agency AP reported that at that time, Susie quietly came out to stare at him. Tags: America News, Donald TrumpFIRST PUBLISHED : November 8, 2024, 08:50 IST
