Trump expects to fire Cabinet members after midterm losses

washingtonexaminer.com —

President Donald Trump said he expects to fire some Cabinet members after Republicans suffered major losses in the 2026 midterm elections, without naming specific individuals. He made the remarks in a preview of his first sit-down interview since the defeat, airing on CBS News’s 60 Minutes. Trump said he loves his Cabinet but will make “a few changes,” declining to identify who. Chief of staff Susie Wiles departed Friday for Trump’s political operation, replaced by Stephen Miller. Secretary of War Pete Hegseth has been floated as a possible departure due to his role overseeing the Iran war, though Trump expressed confidence in him. Wiles was the first Cabinet-level departure since April, when Trump fired Attorney General Pam Bondi. Earlier, he dismissed Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem, while Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard resigned in June and Labor Secretary Lori Chavez-DeRemer resigned in April amid misconduct allegations.
