As Donald Trump thanked everyone in his election night/victory speech as he prepared to witness a big victory, he mentioned his managers Susie and Chris several times, and Susie in particular. Susie and Chris are Susie Wiles and Chris LaCivita — who managed his campaign.
Chris LaCivita also addressed last night when Donald Trump turned to them.
“Let me also express my great admiration for Susie and Chris. What you’ve done, Susie, come Susie, come here, come here, Susie. Chris, come here Chris. Susie likes to be in the back row. You’re the Ice Maiden, Chris come here , Susie likes to be in the background.”
“Thank you and thank you Susie. Look at her. She’s shocked – I’ve never seen her shocked before. They were, they’re great. Everyone here is great, everyone here is so special.”
Who is Susie Wiles??
Susie Wiles, 66, was a top staff member for Jacksonville Mayors John Delaney and John Peyton before becoming a household name in political circles. During Trump’s campaign, she organized a team of professionals and ensured that the team could make a smooth transition to the Trump White House after Trump’s victory.
Susie Wiles also worked on Rick Scott’s campaign for governor in 2010. She was a senior advisor to Ron DeSantis’ victorious run for governor in 2018.
He described his job as managing the many parts of the campaign and orchestrating the mechanics that keep the campaign going. Wiles flew to Atlanta for the debate, flying to the event with Trump. She remained with the former president as other campaign aides and surrogates but managed to stay away from the limelight.
Who is Chris LaCivita?
Unlike Susie, Chris is a known Republican political strategist. LaCivita first gained national recognition during the 2004 presidential election. After the 2021 US Capitol riots, LaCivita emerged as a critic of Trump as he blamed Trump for “lying” for the riots. But he later removed the post and when asked recently by CNN, he said those were not endorsements. “Retweets and likes are not endorsements. I’m focused on winning the election for the next two weeks, and not distractions from CNN,” he said.
