He selected Suzie Wiles as his Chief of Staff. She ran his campaign. She is the daughter of famous NFL broadcaster Pat Summerall and a long time political consultant . She worked for Jack Kemp ;Ronald Reagan and former Fla Guv Rick Scott. She describes herself as a moderate Repub.

One possible negative . She helped get Ron DeSantis elected as Fla Guv. But she later clashed with him .She calls working for him her biggest mistake. She may also be an unnamed person of interest in the Trump document case.

She will be the first woman to be Chief of Staff. So much for Trump not surrounding himself with strong women. Oh and there is Linda McMahone ;chair of his transition team ....and Laura Trump ;head of RNC .

After Trump hit a political low in 2021 — having lost not just reelection, but the support of some Republicans after the Jan. 6 storming of the Capitol — he hired Wiles to oversee his comeback.
Since then, Trump’s third bid for office has been described by campaign pros on both sides of the aisle as a particularly professional operation, despite Trump’s own tendencies to embrace chaos. And Wiles has even had success reining in Trump, stepping in at times to get him back on message or to see why some of his decisions could be tremendous political liabilities. She has encouraged Trump to tone down his rhetoric about losing the 2020 election and to urge his supporters to vote by mail.
