Susie Willies is the Chief of Staff of the President.
She controls his agenda. She sometimes takes decisions on his behalf.
She is one of the very few people that Donald Trump actually trusts.
In 2010, she helped healthcare businessman Rick Scott become Governor of Florida.
She went to create a corporate lobbying firm named Ballard Partners. She recruited Pam Bondi as a lobbyist for Ballard Partners.
In 2018, she helped Ron De Santis become Governor Governor of Florida.
In 2024, Susie Willies was the top campaign manager of Donald Trump.
I haven’t seen the show, but the premise of “The Thick of It” is that the real powerful figures are staffers, not the politicians themselves.
You must! It’s easily my favourite comedy show of the 00s, but if you’re not a Brit you’ll probably need subs, lol.
