Trump replaces chief of staff with far-right adviser after election defeat

volkskrant.nl (Dutch) —

President Trump has replaced White House Chief of Staff Susie Wiles with Stephen Miller, a far-right adviser, following the Republican Party's historic defeat in the midterm elections. The change comes days after Democrats secured majorities in both the Senate and the House of Representatives. Trump did not provide a direct reason for the change, but sources told The New York Times he was furious with his team over the election loss. Miller, known as the architect of Trump's aggressive anti-immigration policies, had reportedly expressed interest in the position weeks ago. The move may signal further cabinet changes, with some Republicans calling for Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth's removal over the Iran war, which analysts cite as a key cause of the election defeat. Miller reportedly advocated for ending the conflict during his job interview.
