Welcome and opening overview…
President-elect Donald Trump has appointed Susie Wiles, the director of his winning campaign, as his first female chief of staff, an influential role.
Mr. Wiles was widely praised both inside and outside Mr. Trump's office for running his most disciplined and well-executed campaign ever, and was considered the front-runner for the position. She largely shuns the spotlight, refusing to take the microphone to speak when President Trump celebrated his victory early Wednesday morning.
Appointing Mr. Wiles is Mr. Trump's first major decision as president-elect, and could prove to be a defining test for the next administration, as he must quickly build a team to help run the federal government.
Meanwhile, Republicans gained two more hotly contested seats in Pennsylvania, moving them closer to a House majority.
Democrats won a new seat in New York by defeating a Republican incumbent, and the three U.S. House seats in Nevada that the incumbent won by landslides on Thursday will remain under Democratic control, but Republicans will have a majority. Only seven more seats are needed to reach 218.
