Susie Wiles announces she’s cancer-free

White House chief of staff Susie Wiles announced she was cancer-free in a social media post on Wednesday.

“Thank you to my family, friends, doctors, and everyone who prayed for me, checked in, and supported me along the way,” she wrote in a post on X.

President Donald Trump announced Wiles, 69, had been diagnosed with “early-stage” breast cancer in March, though she remained in her post as White House chief while undergoing treatment.

“Her Strength and her Commitment to continue doing the job she loves, and does so well, while undergoing treatment, tells you everything you need to know about her,” Trump wrote on Truth Social at the time.

Wiles is the first woman White House chief of staff and has been described by Trump as both the “ice maiden” and the most powerful woman in the world.

Wiles is a former Florida-based lobbyist and political operative who spearheaded Gov. Ron DeSantis‘s (R-FL) 2018 campaign for governor. In 2024, she served as co-chair with Chris LaCivita of Trump’s successful comeback bid. She has been praised for her management of the internal politics and personalities of the West Wing compared to her predecessors from Trump’s first term.

Wiles also previously worked for Trump’s 2016 campaign in Florida before becoming a member of the president’s inner circle and one of his closest advisers and confidants.

Wiles has preferred to stay out of the political spotlight, despite being quoted in Vanity Fair last December as saying Trump “has an alcoholic’s personality” and operates under the assumption that “there’s nothing he can’t do — nothing, zero, nothing.”
