Stephen Miller replacing Susie Wiles as Trump's chief of staff

Stephen Miller is replacing Susie Wiles as White House Chief of Staff on Monday, President Trump wrote in a Friday Truth Social post. Why it matters: The appointment of Miller, who favors a more hardline approach to the Iran war and immigration, could signal a shifting strategy. Wiles' departure removes a crucial stabilizing force from the West Wing just as Trump confronts the fallout from Republicans' sweeping midterm losses and a Democratic Congress intent on investigating his administration. What they're saying: "I am pleased to announce that Mr. Stephen Miller, the current Deputy Chief of Staff of the Trump Administration, and one of my most trusted advisors, will become the Chief of Staff starting Monday, November 9, 2026," Trump wrote on Truth Social. "Susie Wiles, who has done an outstanding job, will be moving over to the Trump Political Operation. I want to thank her for her service as Chief of Staff."
