Following his landslide election victory, President-elect Donald Trump tapped his campaign co-chair, Susie Wiles, to serve as White House Chief of Staff. Trump announced on Thursday that Wiles would transition from leading his campaign to helping him lead the country as she is set to become the first female White House Chief of Staff in history. The president-elect described Wiles as “tough, smart, innovative, and is universally admired and respected.” Wiles is a relatively unknown figure in mainstream America, but she has been instrumental in two Trump victories and was also behind Rick Scott’s and Ron DeSantis’ gubernatorial election victories in Florida. The 67-year-old is the daughter of former NFL player and longtime broadcaster Pat Summerall. She got her start in politics in 1979, working as an assistant for New York Republican Congressman Jack Kemp, who was also a former NFL player. From there, Wiles went on to work for Ronald Reagan’s 1980 presidential campaign as a scheduler and served in the Reagan administration. After a few years in the Reagan White House, Wiles started her political consulting career in northeast Florida, where she is from, CNN reported. Wiles married Lanny Wiles, a Florida Republican political operative, in 1985, with whom she shares two children. They divorced in 2017. Throughout the 1990s, Susie Wiles served as the chief of staff for Jacksonville Mayor John Delaney and then advised Jacksonville Mayor John Peyton from 2004 to 2009. In 2010, after Rick Scott launched a late bid for Florida governor, Wiles was asked to help. “We told her, ‘Hey, we got a guy nobody knows, we’re behind by 50 points, come join us,’” said Curt Anderson, a top strategist with Scott’s campaign, according to CNN. “She was able to immediately come in and bring a level of organization that kept people on task.” Scott won the 2010 gubernatorial election by just over one percentage point and served two terms as governor before becoming a U.S. senator. In 2011, Wiles was hired as the presidential campaign manager for Utah Governor Jon Huntsman, whose 2012 bid was short-lived. She later helped with Republican nominee Mitt Romney’s campaign in Florida. Romney lost the state by less than a point to then-President Barack Obama. Wiles wasn’t done after the two failed campaigns, however. She was again called on in the 2016 cycle when Trump became the Republican nominee. Wiles was tapped in September of 2016 to run Trump’s campaign operation in Florida, a state he flipped on his way to an upset victory over Democrat Hillary Clinton. MATT WALSH’S ‘AM I RACIST?’ NOW STREAMING ON DAILYWIRE+ Wiles went on to help Trump-endorsed candidate for governor of Florida, DeSantis, narrowly defeat Democrat Andrew Gillum in 2018. During the 2020 campaign, however, Wiles and DeSantis reportedly had a falling out, and the Trump campaign cut ties with her at DeSantis’ urging. While Trump still won Florida by a convincing margin in 2020, he dropped multiple swing states before losing the election to President Joe Biden. Wiles was brought back to help Trump in the 2024 race. She was named the CEO of Trump’s Save America PAC in 2021 and became the co-chair of Trump’s election campaign. She was described by The Hill as “the most powerful Republican you don’t know,” and The New York Times reported that she was “perhaps the most significant voice inside Mr. Trump’s third presidential campaign.” Trump wasted no time after his 2024 victory to name Wiles as his chief of staff. “Susie will continue to work tirelessly to Make America Great Again,” Trump said. “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.”

White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre blamed the COVID pandemic for Vice President Kamala Harris losing the 2024 presidential election to President-elect Donald Trump. Jean-Pierre made the remarks during Thursday’s press briefing, the first briefing that the administration has had since Tuesday’s election. A reporter asked Jean-Pierre: “Does the President have any regrets about when he chose to leave the race or any regrets about deciding to run for a second term?” “Um — so — look — um — the president is very proud of what he was able to accomplish,” Jean-Pierre responded. “He was very proud and when he made that decision to hand over the torch, pass the torch, to the vice president, he believed it was the right decision to make at that time. He believed that she was ready, she was ready to lead on day one and has been very proud in what he’s been able to deliver.” MATT WALSH’S ‘AM I RACIST?’ NOW STREAMING ON DAILYWIRE+ “What we saw two nights ago was certainly very much in line to what we’ve seen in other G7 countries, in incumbencies, the role, the toll that the pandemic took even though we were able to lead in the world when it comes to the economy,” she claimed. She continued, “We saw what happened in other G7 countries, and so, that is what we believe. Look, there’s going to be a lot of punditry, a lot of election experts who are going to have their opinions, who are going to have their thoughts, but the president is very, very proud, very proud of what he’s been able to accomplish and incredibly impressed by what the vice president was able to do.” WATCH: CBS’s @NancyCordes: “Does the President have any regrets about when he chose to leave the race or any regrets about deciding to run for a second term?” KJP: “Um — so — look — um — the President is very proud of what he was able to accomplish.

Celebrity reactions continue to be over-the-top after President-elect Donald Trump’s big win on Tuesday. Many of these A-listers have previously threatened to leave the country if he won, which could leave fans to wonder if they’ll make good on those promises. A source said actress America Ferrera is reportedly “sick” over the election results and said she has plans to move to the United Kingdom, as The Daily Wire previously reported. Their insider said she intended to move with her husband, Ryan Piers Williams, and their two kids. “America is sick that Donald Trump is President again,” a source close to the actress told The Daily Mail. “She is devastated that Kamala lost. She thought the country she lived in was better than that.” She’s not the only one. The singer Cher said she was planning to leave as well. “I almost got an ulcer the last time. If he gets in, who knows? This time I will leave [the country],” the 78-year-old recording artist told The Guardian last year. Barbra Streisand told late-night host Stephen Colbert last year that she couldn’t “live in this country if he becomes president.” She was also thinking about Europe as an alternative option, saying, “I like England.” However, there’s a good chance Streisand won’t follow through on that promise. The singer said the same thing ahead of Trump’s win in 2016, telling Australian journalist Michael Usher, “I’m either coming to your country, if you’ll let me in, or Canada.” She wound up doing neither. MATT WALSH’S ‘AM I RACIST?’ NOW STREAMING ON DAILYWIRE+ Sharon Stone previously said she was considering relocating to Europe if Trump won. “I am certainly considering a house in Italy,” Stone told the Daily Mail in July. “I think that’s an intelligent construct at this time. This is one of the first times in my life that I’ve actually seen anyone running for office on a platform of hate and oppression.” “The View” host Whoopi Goldberg also said she was considering a move if Trump won ahead of the 2016 election. “Maybe it’s time for me to move, you know. I can afford to go,” she said at the time. In May of this year, the president-elect replied to a clip posted on Truth Social of Goldberg’s 2016 comment and wrote, “Canada doesn’t want you Whoopi, NOBODY DOES!!!” Later, Goldberg tried to clarify her statements, claiming she never threatened to leave. “A lot of folks have said they were leaving over the course of these last couple years if Trump got elected. And, once again, people assume that that’s what I [said],” the daytime TV host said, claiming she was “incorrectly lumped” in with that group. Goldberg then read the transcript of herself saying, “Maybe it’s time for me to move,” as proof that she never threatened to move. There are some stars who already left. Actress Minnie Driver, who lived in Los Angeles for decades, said she returned to the U.K. and wasn’t planning to come back.  “If I lived in a red [Republican] state, no, I couldn’t,” she said of returning to the U.S. during an interview in July. “But living in California, you are somewhat insulated. But do you want to go and live in a bubble? Do you run away from the fire or do you go back and help?” Driver also expressed disdain for Trump’s supporters, saying she was upset by “the revelation of the 70 million people who really quite like a bit of a racist attitude and non-existent immigration policies and dismantling the environmental agencies. And they were always there; they weren’t created by him. He’s just a symptom, and now they’ve got a mascot.”

Glancing across the snowy landscape, you see nothing but white, rolling hills as far as the eye can see. You might mistake the view for the West Siberian Plains or the Alaskan Wilderness. In an unprecedented weather event, snow has blanketed Saudi Arabia’s Al-Jawf desert region. @dailymail Saudi Arabia’s Al-Jawf desert woke up to snow for the first time ever! Locals used to sand dunes got a taste of winter, with snow covering roads and valleys. The rare sight came after heavy rains and hailstorms! VIRAL PRESS #saudiarabia #snow #natural #rain #news ♬ original sound – Daily Mail The unusual weather phenomenon resulted from a low-pressure system over the Arabian Sea. The system brought moisture on a collision course with the desert heat. The reaction caused thunder, hail, and intense storms. After the initial onslaught of heavy storms, snow was dumped on the desert for the first time in recorded history. Images from X here and here. The UAE’s National Centre of Meteorology (NCM) warns that the desert snow may not be the end of their wacky weather. They advise residents that strong winds, thunderstorms, and hail may come over the next few days. They added an extra warning to remain on high alert for other unusual weather patterns.
