5

President Donald Trump broke the news Monday morning that White House Chief of Staff Susie Wiles has been diagnosed with breast cancer.

Wiles, 68, served as Trump’s co-campaign manager for his 2024 presidential campaign, and then transitioned to White House Chief of Staff when he took office for his second term. Trump said Wiles will continue to work virtually as she undergoes treatment.

Wiles later posted an announcement of her own on social media Monday afternoon to confirm the news. She wrote:

Last week, I was diagnosed with breast cancer. Nearly one in eight women in the United States will face this diagnosis. Every day, these women continue to raise their families, go to work, and serve their communities with strength and determination. I now join their ranks.

I am grateful to have an outstanding team of doctors who detected the cancer early and are guiding my care, and I am encouraged by a very good prognosis.

I am also deeply thankful for the support and encouragement of President Trump as I undergo treatment and continue serving in my role as White House Chief of Staff.

President Trump wished Wiles well during a meeting on Monday:

Wiles’ post has already generated over 1.4 million views and nearly 10,000 comments as of this report, as the well wishes and prayers are pouring in.

White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt wrote: “Susie Wiles epitomizes what it means to be a strong leader. She is also one of the nicest people I’ve ever met. Susie led President Trump’s historic 2024 comeback campaign and is now spearheading the most successful administration in history.

“I know I speak for the President and the entire White House when I say that we are all praying for Susie and rallying behind her as she prepares to fight this battle against breast cancer. 💗”

White House Deputy Chief of Staff Dan Scavino wrote: “Everyone’s prayers are with you, Susie. The entire West Wing of the @WhiteHouse is here for you every step of the way!!!🩷🙏”

Attorney General Pam Bondi: “I love Susie like a sister — she is the strongest person I know. I will always be there for her every step of the way. Praying for this remarkable woman, her entire family, and a quick recovery.”

FBI Director Kash Patel: “Susie Wiles is one of the toughest and most dedicated public servants I know. She’s a fighter, and with her strength, faith, and a great medical team behind her, I know she’ll beat this and be back stronger than ever. We’re all rooting for her. 🙏”

Vice President JD Vance wrote, “The Vance family is praying for our dear friend as she takes on her next fight!”

Former deputy FBI Director Dan Bongino, who is a cancer survivor himself, wrote: “It’s always a life changing moment when the Doctor enters the room and delivers awful news about cancer. But Susie is a warrior and that strength will help her get through this significant challenge. She will be in my prayers.”

Sen. John Fetterman (D-Pa.): “I’ve just heard the news about White House Chief of Staff, Susie Wiles. My deep sympathies are with her as she navigates kicking breast cancer’s ass. Keeping her and her family in my thoughts.”

Rep. Ro Khanna (D-Calif.) wrote, “I have Susie Wiles and her family in my thoughts as she fights early stage breast cancer and hope she makes a full and speedy recovery. We have deep divisions in our nation, but we must not lose our humanity in wishing decency and health for our fellow Americans.”
