Wiles, first woman in role, will continue advancing ‘America First Agenda’
Susie Wiles, the White House chief of staff and the first woman to hold the role, said Wednesday that she is cancer-free after undergoing treatment for early-stage breast cancer diagnosed earlier this year.
Wiles, 69, announced the result in a social-media post following a medical appointment at the Mayo Clinic this week.
“After a medical appointment at the Mayo Clinic this week, my pathology results came back clear,” Wiles said. “I am cancer free.”
President Trump disclosed Wiles’s diagnosis in March, saying she had been diagnosed with early-stage breast cancer and would begin treatment immediately. He called her “one of the strongest people I know” and said her prognosis was excellent. Administration officials said at the time that she would continue in her role and take time off as needed for treatment.
On Wednesday, Wiles thanked Trump for his “unwavering support” and said she would continue to “work to advance his America First Agenda.”
A native of Florida, Wiles served as Trump’s campaign manager for his 2024 election win. In 2016, she worked with him to help carry Florida. She is the first woman to serve as White House chief of staff.
