President Trump Announces Stephen Miller Will Replace Susie Wiles as White House Chief of Staff
The White House has a new incoming chief of staff, President Donald Trump announced on Friday, November 6.
“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,” the president, 80, announced in a Truth Social post.
Miller, 41, has been a longtime advisor to the president and is responsible for much of the administration’s crackdown on immigration.
“Susie Wiles, who has done an outstanding job, will be moving over to the Trump Political Operation,” he said of Miller’s predecessor. “I want to thank her for her service as Chief of Staff — She has done a great job!”
“Serving President Trump in the White House has been the honor of a lifetime,” Wiles, 69. posted to X, announcing her last day in the position.
“I’m so proud to have been a part of what we’ve accomplished together from securing our border and cutting taxes to strengthening our economy and putting America First,” she continued. “More than anything, I’m grateful for the extraordinary people I’ve had the privilege of working alongside. While my role may be changing, my commitment to the president and the mission never will.”
The move comes after Republicans suffered major losses in the midterm elections this week, with Democratic victories which gave the party control of both the House and Senate. According to a CNN source, Wiles is among those on Trump’s political team whom he blames for the Republican shortcomings.
Marjorie Taylor Greene has since pointed the finger at Trump himself for the results.
“It’s Donald Trump’s fault,” Greene, 52, said during an interview TMZ published Wednesday, November 4.
She argued that Trump had encouraged Americans to vote as though his name appeared on the ballot, only for voters to turn against Republicans.
In the TMZ video, Greene also criticized GOP lawmakers for “cheerleading, clapping like baby seals” rather than confronting problems such as health insurance costs, inflation and foreign wars.
She urged Republicans to focus on fulfilling campaign promises instead of trying to win Trump’s approval or secure invitations to Mar-a-Lago.
