I say the best. Actually, I\u2019m tremendously grateful for her friendship, loyalty, and support every single day,\u201d the president said in the clip. \u201cEverything we have done here in the White House has been with her help and her leadership. She\u2019s respected by everybody. Every one of these people, they respect Susie. We have a problem. I say, go to Susie. We owe her tremendous debt.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>A litany of Trump administration A-listers showed up to the Waldorf Astoria to share in her big night, including War Secretary Pete Hegseth, acting Attorney General Todd Blanche, Interior Secretary Doug Burgum, Energy Secretary Chris Wright, FBI Director Kash Patel, and FCC Chairman Brendan Carr.<\/p>\n<p>Despite her track record, Wiles is currently facing one of the toughest moments of her career: an uphill fight to help Republicans maintain their congressional majorities in the 2026 midterm elections, all while battling breast cancer.<\/p>\n<p>The chief received her diagnosis just nine weeks ago but isn\u2019t taking any time off work while undergoing treatment.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI come to work every day. I do my job. I don\u2019t complain, and I think that sets an example, too, for the people I work with,\u201d she stated matter-of-factly Thursday night.<\/p>\n<p>As for the midterm elections, the typically private Wiles is breaking out of her shell. She joined X last week and promised to start posting more publicly in the lead-up to November. Having Wiles weigh in directly with voters may prove critical for the GOP heading into the midterm elections, according to Republican National Committee Chairman Joe Gruters.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSusie Wiles is one of the toughest, smartest, and most respected leaders in American politics. Having worked alongside her for years, I can say firsthand there is nobody more loyal to President Trump or more committed to delivering results for the American people,\u201d he told the <em>Washington Examiner<\/em>. \u201cSusie helped lead the most historic political comeback in modern history in 2024, and she continues to be an invaluable force heading into the midterms.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Whatever November\u2019s results may prove to be, Wiles will likely go down as one of the most effective political operators in modern history. Still, the daughter of legendary NFL broadcaster Pat Summerall doesn\u2019t want to talk about her own legacy.<\/p>\n<p><a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/news\/white-house\/4558079\/rubio-white-house-moment-america-first-glimpse-post-trump\/\"><strong>RUBIO\u2019S WHITE HOUSE MOMENT OFFERS GLIMPSE OF AMERICA FIRST AFTER TRUMP<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u201cI haven\u2019t thought about that,\u201d she joked to the crowd Thursday when asked how she wants people to define her \u201cimpact.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019m not leaving anytime soon.
