President Donald Trump announced on Friday that Stephen Miller will replace Susie Wiles as White House Chief of Staff, effective Monday, November 9, 2026. The personnel change follows significant Republican losses in the midterm elections, which saw Democrats gain control of the U.S. Senate and House. President Trump praised Wiles for doing an "outstanding job" and stated she would transition to his political operation, while Wiles described her tenure as the "honor of a lifetime." Miller, who has served as deputy chief of staff for policy and homeland security adviser, was described by the president as a trusted advisor and effective manager. This transition marks the first major administration shake-up following the midterm results.
