Florida Democratic Rep. Jared Moskowitz praised Susie Wiles for being chosen as President-elect Trump’s chief of staff on Thursday.
“Congrats to [Susie Wiles]! I worked with Susie in the DeSantis Administration. She is brilliant, tough, strategic. She will serve the country well,” Moskowitz shared on X.
Wiles, co-chair of Trump’s 2024 campaign, has a history in politics that traces back to her role as a scheduler for President Reagan in 1980.
Her resume includes working with prominent figures like presidents, mayors, and lawmakers, such as Sen. Rick Scott, Gov. Ron DeSantis, and Trump.
“Susie Wiles just helped me achieve one of the greatest political victories in American history, and was an integral part of both my 2016 and 2020 successful campaigns,” Trump remarked on Thursday.
“Susie is tough, smart, innovative, and is universally admired and respected. Susie will continue to work tirelessly to Make America Great Again,” he continued.
“It is a well deserved honor to have Susie as the first-ever female Chief of Staff in United States history. I have no doubt that she will make our country proud.”
After Trump’s landslide victory, Moskowitz tweeted that Wiles “will go down as one of the greatest campaign strategists.”
“To the [Democrats’] detriment she has been a part of all the winning campaigns in Florida,” he noted.
Wiles is currently a senior Trump adviser and campaign co-chair with Chris LaCivita.
During a victory event in West Palm Beach, Trump extended special gratitude to Wiles for her significant role.
“Let me also express my tremendous appreciation for Susie and Chris for your incredible work,” he said while trying to usher her up onto the stage.
“Susie likes to stay sort of in the back, let me tell you. The ice baby. We call her the ice baby. Susie likes to stay in the background. She’s not in the background.”
