Stephen Miller will replace Susie Wiles as White House chief of staff starting Monday, President Donald Trump announced on Truth Social Friday afternoon. Wiles will take on a role within Trump’s political operation.
Miller has played an influential role in Trump’s first and second administrations. As a policy and Homeland Security adviser, Miller is widely credited with shaping Trump’s immigration agenda, including selecting enforcement targets.
News of the swap comes three days after Republicans took massive losses in the midterm elections, giving Democrats a majority in both the House and the Senate.
“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. Susie Wiles, who has done an outstanding job, will be moving over to the Trump Political Operation. I want to thank her for her service as Chief of Staff — She has done a great job! President DONALD J. TRUMP,” Trump wrote on Truth Social.
