A profile by Politico earlier this year, external described Susie Wiles as feared but little known.

Less than a year after Wiles started working in politics, she joined Ronald Reagan’s campaign ahead of his 1980 election.

She went on to play a key role in transforming politics in Florida, where she lives.

In 2010, she turned Rick Scott, a then-businessman with little political experience, into Florida’s governor in just seven months. Scott is now a US senator.

Wiles met Trump during the 2015 Republican presidential primary and became the co-chair of his Florida campaign. He went on to win the state over Hillary Clinton in 2016.

Florida Gov Ron DeSantis, who put her in charge of his successful gubernatorial race two years later, described Wiles as “the best in the business”.

Wiles worked on the Trump campaign alongside Chris LaCivita, a veteran of Republican politics with decades of experience.

The two worked with Trump to formulate a winning presidential primary strategy.

In her Politico profile, the 67-year-old grandmother – who is the daughter of late American football player and broadcaster Pat Summerall – said that she comes from a “traditional” political background.

“In my early career things like manners mattered and there was an expected level of decorum,” she said, describing the Republican party as significantly different than the one of several decades ago.

“And so I get it that the GOP of today is different,” she said, referring to the Republican party, who are also called the Grand Old Party (GOP).

“There are changes we must live with in order to get done the things we’re trying to do.”
