Trump Replaces Chief of Staff Susie Wiles With Stephen Miller

WASHINGTON, Nov 6 (OPA) — President Donald Trump announced Friday that White House Chief of Staff Susie Wiles will be replaced by his top adviser and current Deputy Chief of Staff, Stephen Miller, effective Monday, November 9, 2026. The high-level personnel change comes just days after a major Democratic victory in the midterm elections dealt a severe blow to the Republican legislative agenda.

"I am pleased to announce that Mr. Stephen Miller... will become the Chief of Staff starting Monday," Trump wrote on Truth Social. Wiles, who submitted her resignation Thursday night, stated on X that serving in the White House was the honor of a lifetime. Trump noted that Wiles would transition to the Trump Political Operation, praising her prior service.

Wiles made history as the first female White House chief of staff and became one of the longest-serving figures in Trump's inner circle, dating back to his 2016 campaign. Initially praised for managing West Wing operations, her tenure faced growing friction amid controversies surrounding government downsizing efforts and cabinet disputes.

Miller takes the reins as the White House attempts to recalibrate its political strategy following the midterm setbacks. The administration faces a difficult path forward in Congress as it prepares to navigate divided government dynamics for the remainder of Trump's term.
