Trump Names Stephen Miller as White House Chief of Staff
Trump said Miller, currently a deputy chief of staff and one of his trusted advisers, will become chief of staff on November 9. The announcement came after Republicans suffered a major loss in the midterm elections, marking a leadership change at the White House in the wake of the result.
Wiles said November 6 was her final day as chief of staff. Trump said she would move to his political operation and praised her work in the White House. In a statement, Wiles described serving Trump as an honor and said her commitment to him and his mission would continue in her new role.
Wiles credited the administration with securing the border, cutting taxes, strengthening the economy and advancing an America First agenda. She also thanked the people she had worked with at the White House. Miller is scheduled to take over the chief of staff position on November 9.
Trump Turns to Miller After Republicans’ Midterm Defeat
After Republicans’ major midterm setback, Trump is putting longtime adviser Stephen Miller in charge of the White House operation. Miller, currently a deputy chief of staff, is set to replace Susie Wiles on November 9, while Wiles moves to Trump’s political operation.
The timing makes the change a consequential test of how Trump intends to respond to the election result. Rather than keep Wiles in the chief of staff role, Trump has chosen a trusted adviser for the administration’s top staff position. The announcement does not specify what prompted the switch.
Wiles said November 6 was her last day in the job and praised her time serving Trump. She highlighted the administration’s work on border security, taxes and the economy, and said she remains committed to the president and his mission. Miller’s appointment now places him at the center of the White House operation after the Republican loss.
