Trump replaces chief of staff Susie Wiles with Stephen Miller
President Donald Trump announced Friday he will replace White House chief of staff Susie Wiles with Stephen Miller, marking his first major staffing change since the Democratic Party's sweeping midterm election victories on Tuesday. Miller, previously deputy chief of staff for policy and a key architect of Trump's immigration agenda, will assume the role Monday, November 9, 2026. Wiles will move to the Trump Political Operation, with Trump thanking her for her service in a Truth Social statement. The announcement sparked speculation about Trump's willingness to work with a Democratic-controlled Congress, with critics noting Miller's ties to Project 2025 and his controversial immigration stances, including a goal of 3,000 daily arrests.
