Nov. 7 (UPI) --President-elect Donald Trump has picked Susie Wiles, his campaign manager, to serve as White House chief of staff upon his return to the White House, his office said Thursday. Wiles, 67, a Florida native, will be the first woman in the post.

After helping engineer Donald Trump’s improbable and sweeping victory in the presidential race, Susie Wiles, the president-elect’s unassuming co-campaign chief, is seen as the frontrunner to become his White House chief of staff, according to six sources familiar with discussions inside the campaign.
