The resignation of White House Chief of Staff Susie Wiles following midterm election losses marks the latest in a wave of high-profile departures, leaving just three women in top roles in President Donald Trump’s administration.
WASHINGTON: The abrupt exit of White House Chief of Staff Susie Wiles, one day after Republicans were stomped in midterm elections, adds her to a growing list of women who have departed top roles in President Donald Trump’s administration since the year began.
At the beginning of his second term, the 80-year-old Republican boasted that he was “thrilled to say that we have more women in our cabinet than any Republican president in the history of our country.”
At that point, there were eight women in top roles, out of more than 20 such positions.
