SUSIE Wiles is the newly-appointed White House chief of staff for President-elect Donald Trump.
After the significant win for the creator of the MAGA movement, he scheduled a meeting with Susie Wiles, making her his top priority before his official inauguration on January 20, 2025. In this piece, we delve into the lives of her daughters, Katie and Caroline Wiles.
Donald Trump, in his announcement of Susie Wiles as the White House chief of staff, expressed, “Susie Wiles played a crucial role in securing one of the most remarkable political triumphs in American history and was a vital part of both my victorious campaigns in 2016 and 2020.”
Susie Wiles’ two daughters have chosen paths in politics and public service, highlighting the deep-rooted connection of the family to Republican political affairs.
Who is Katie Wiles?
Katie Wiles has followed in her mother’s footsteps into the worlds of politics and communications.
Following Trump’s victory in the 2024 presidential election, Katie was promoted to director of Continental Strategy’s lobbying and consulting offices in Jacksonville and Washington D.C.
This came just a day after the announcement of her mother’s appointment as White House chief of staff on November 8, 2024.
Continental Strategy President Carlos Trujillo said: “We know she will shine in this new role and will provide new avenues for growth as we continue to build from the momentum of a landslide victory for President Donald Trump on Election Day.”
Katie’s career path mirrors her mother’s in some ways, as she worked at Jacksonville City Hall during Mayor Lenny Curry’s administration from October 2021 through June 2023 as chief of communications.
Her mother worked at the same city hall during the administrations of mayors John Delaney and John Peyton.
Who is Caroline Wiles?
Susie’s other daughter Caroline Wiles has also been involved in politics.
During Trump’s first term as president, she was hired as deputy assistant to the president and director of scheduling.
However, she was one of several White House staffers who resigned from their positions after failing an FBI background check in 2017.
The check is required for the highest level of security clearance necessary to work in the White House.
After her resignation, Caroline released a statement saying: “It has been my honour to serve President Trump in the campaign and the transition.
“I resigned my position and look forward to serving the Administration in a new capacity.”
