The Joe Rogan Experience · · from the transcriptPost →What we found
Supports. AP and NPR (2024-11-07) report Trump named campaign manager Susie Wiles as his White House chief of staff, after she ran his campaign.[3][4]
Supports. Reuters and BBC confirm Wiles served as Trump's campaign manager and was appointed chief of staff for his forthcoming administration.[1][5]

Context. Sources describe Wiles as running Trump's 2024 campaign and earlier 2016 Florida operation; the claim's 'ran Trump's campaign' is consistent with the campaign-manager role.[8][9]
