Susie Wiles exits White House as Trump replaces her with Stephen Miller

Donald Trump announced Friday that Susie Wiles, the first woman to serve as White House chief of staff, is leaving her post, replacing her with immigration hardliner Stephen Miller. The shake-up follows a Democratic sweep of Congress in the midterm elections. Wiles's departure continues a pattern of senior female officials exiting the administration, including press secretary Katie Zacharia, former homeland security secretary Kristi Noem, and former attorney general Pam Bondi. Wiles, who recently announced she was cancer-free, called the role "the honor of a lifetime." The ouster comes as Democrats prepare to investigate federal agencies, and several justice department officials have also resigned. Only a handful of women remain in Trump's cabinet, including agriculture secretary Brooke Rollins and Kelly Loeffler.
