In an interview on The New York Post&#8217;s &#8220;Pod Force One&#8221; podcast, Wiles explained that although there were difficulties and hostility behind the scenes-especially from DeSantis&#8217;s allies who tried to damage her career-the personal conflicts are now in the past. She praised DeSantis as a good governor of her home state and dismissed any notion of a lasting &#8220;falling out.&#8221; Wiles played a key role in DeSantis&#8217;s narrow 2018 gubernatorial win but later aligned herself with Trump during the 2024 GOP primary, which strained their relationship. She also downplayed her influence on Trump&#8217;s 2024 campaign victory, emphasizing it was the president&#8217;s effort that led to success. Additionally, Wiles commented on Elon Musk&#8217;s complicated relationship with Trump, describing it as initially positive but ultimately troubled.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><\/p>\n<p><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><\/p>\n<section> \t\t\t\t<script>console.log(\"ad slot (AC1)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC1)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC2)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC3)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC4)\")<\/script><\/p>\n<p>Susie Wiles, President Donald Trump&rsquo;s chief of staff, offered new insight into her rocky past relationship with Florida Republican Gov.
