VIEW IN BROWSER MSNBC DAILY Understand today's news Monday, Nov. 11, 2024 THE LATEST Susie Wiles will be the most powerful woman in Washington. Good luck with that. By Hayes Brown President-elect Donald Trump announced on Thursday that campaign co-chair Susie Wiles will be his White House chief of staff.
