On 6 November 2026, President Donald Trump announced on his Truth Social platform that Stephen Miller would replace Susie Wiles as White House Chief of Staff following the Republican Party’s defeat in the mid‑term elections.
Trump praised Wiles, describing her as having done an “outstanding job,” and said she would be reassigned to the “Trump Political Operation,” where she would oversee political operations, according to a BBC report.
Miller is a long‑time aide to Trump and was the architect of the administration’s hard‑line immigration policies, the Daily Post notes.
He is expected to assume the chief‑of‑staff role on Monday, 9 November, while Wiles will continue working with Trump’s political organisation.
The reshuffle comes after the Republicans lost control of both the House of Representatives and the Senate to the Democrats in the 3 November U.S. mid‑term elections.
Former President Barack Obama described the results as a ballot against Trump’s leadership, but Trump said the polling outcome did not mean that the American people had rejected him.
