Story summary

President Donald Trump announced on Friday that Stephen Miller, a longtime adviser and current deputy chief of staff, will replace Susie Wiles as White House chief of staff starting Monday, November 9, 2026. The change comes just after Republicans lost control of both the House and Senate in midterm elections, dealing a significant blow to Trump's administration amid concerns over ongoing conflicts like the war with Iran. Miller, known for his hardline stance on immigration policies, will assume the role as one of Trump’s most trusted advisors. Meanwhile, Susie Wiles is set to move to Trump’s political operation, and her resignation follows a trend where women are leaving top positions in the administration.
