Story summary

As of November 8, 2026, President Donald Trump announced that Stephen Miller, his longtime adviser and deputy chief of staff, will replace Susie Wiles as the White House Chief of Staff starting Monday. The decision was made despite Republicans losing control of both the House and Senate in the recent midterm elections. Democrats criticized this move, with Democratic Sen.-elect Abdul el Sayed of Michigan describing it as part of "incoherent messaging" from the Trump administration. Additionally, the White House stated that it will continue its hardline stance on immigration, emphasizing plans to arrest and deport criminal illegal aliens despite the election results.
