Wiles Offered to Resign After Trump’s Anger Over Midterm Losses

Susie Wiles offered her resignation after President Donald Trump’s anger over Republicans’ midterm losses, as calls from his advisers and allies to overhaul senior staff grew. On Monday, Trump said Stephen Miller was set to assume the White House chief of staff role.

Trump’s Anger After Midterm Losses Pushed Wiles to Offer Resignation

The fallout from Republicans’ midterm losses reached the top of the White House, where Susie Wiles offered her resignation after President Donald Trump became furious with her. The episode came as advisers and allies urged Trump to overhaul his senior staff, and he said on Monday that Stephen Miller was set to assume the White House chief of staff role.

Wiles had been a key figure at Trump’s side for six years, helping manage the turmoil that marked his first administration. She had also been described as the person able to restrain some of his worst instincts, making her apparent departure a striking reversal.

Just two weeks earlier, Trump had dismissed speculation that he would replace Wiles and said she would remain by his side for a long time. Now, the election losses and his anger have put the chief of staff’s position in question, underscoring the cost of a leadership shake-up at a moment when the White House is responding to a major political setback.

Trump Moves to Reshape White House After GOP Midterm Losses

President Donald Trump is moving to reshape his senior team after Republicans’ midterm losses. On Monday, he said Stephen Miller was set to assume the White House chief of staff role, following calls from advisers and allies for a staff overhaul.

Susie Wiles offered to resign after Trump became furious with her over the election losses. The change comes after Trump had praised Wiles just two weeks earlier and dismissed speculation that he would replace her, saying she would stay by his side for a long time.

Wiles had been a central figure in Trump’s circle for six years and helped prevent the kind of chaos associated with his first administration. But a chief of staff’s role is to serve the president, and the losses have brought renewed pressure for changes at the top. Trump’s decision to bring in Miller marks a clear break from his earlier assurances about Wiles’ future.
