President Trump announced Friday that Susie Wiles is out as White House Chief of Staff and longtime aide Stephen Miller will take over the job starting Monday. Wiles, the first woman to hold the post and the person who ran Trump’s 2024 campaign, is moving over to his political operation.
NEWS🚨🚨: Susie Wiles out as Chief of Staff. Stephen Miller will take her place, per POTUS.

The switch comes just days after Republicans lost control of both chambers of Congress in the midterms.
Miller has spent years as one of Trump’s most aggressive policy hands, particularly on immigration and border enforcement. His elevation puts one of the administration’s sharpest internal advocates in the top operational role at the precise moment Democrats are preparing to use their new majorities.
Trump praised Wiles for her service while describing Miller as one of his most trusted advisors.
Today is my last day as White House Chief of Staff. Serving President Trump in the White House has been the honor of a lifetime. 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. 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 change arrives after weeks of quiet speculation about whether Wiles would stay through the rest of the term. Earlier reports that Trump was floating replacements were publicly denied; Friday’s announcement ended the speculation.
Reaction on the Right has been mixed but largely approving among those who wanted a harder line after the midterm results. Miller’s supporters see the move as a signal that the next two years will be more confrontational than the last two. Whether that reading is correct will be clear soon enough.
