Susie Wiles steps down as White House chief of staff; Stephen Miller to take over

Susie Wiles has stepped down as White House chief of staff, with Deputy Chief of Staff Stephen Miller set to assume the role from Monday. Wiles, the first woman to hold the position, will move to Trump's political operation. Wiles announced her departure on X, calling her service "the honour of a lifetime" and citing achievements like border security and tax cuts. President Trump confirmed the change on Truth Social, praising Wiles' work while stating he "wanted to make a change." Wiles, 69, a veteran Republican strategist, battled early-stage breast cancer this year but announced she was cancer-free in September. Her exit follows reported tensions within Trump's inner circle ahead of the midterm elections.
