Trump replaces chief of staff after Republican election loss

President Donald Trump announced Friday he is replacing White House Chief of Staff Susie Wiles with Stephen Miller, a longtime adviser, following the Republican Party's historic defeat in Tuesday's midterm elections. The change takes effect Monday, according to Reuters. Trump blamed Wiles and the party's election strategy for the loss, which cost Republicans their majorities in both the House and Senate, per CNN sources. Trump praised Wiles, who will move to his political organization. Miller, 41, has worked with Trump since 2015 and is known as the architect of his strict immigration policies, including the mass deportation program. Wiles, 69, was the first woman to serve as chief of staff and recently recovered from breast cancer.
