Story summary

On November 6, 2026, President Donald Trump announced via social media and other platforms that Stephen Miller will replace Susie Wiles as the White House chief of staff, starting Monday, November 9. The change came shortly after Republicans lost control of both the House and Senate in midterm elections. Prior to this appointment, Miller was serving as deputy chief of staff for the Trump administration and is known for his role in shaping the administration's immigration policies. Susie Wiles will move to a position within Trump’s political operation following her resignation on Thursday evening.

Just hours before making the announcement, President Trump had told CBS’s "60 Minutes" that some of his deportation policies may have been too tough at times. Despite this statement, he proceeded with Miller's promotion, who is often referred to as the architect of the administration’s hardline immigration strategy. Katie Miller, Stephen's wife and host of a popular podcast, announced on Sunday that she would be stepping down from her show following her husband's significant promotion.
