White House Shake-Up: Susie Wiles Out, Stephen Miller in

President Donald Trump announced Friday that Stephen Miller will become the new White House chief of staff beginning November 9, replacing Susie Wiles, who will transition to Trump's political operation. Miller currently serves as deputy chief of staff and has been among the president's closest and most influential advisers.

Trump announced the leadership change in a statement, highlighting his confidence in Miller and expressing gratitude for Wiles' work leading the White House staff.

“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,” Trump said.

Miller has been a central figure in Trump's political movement for nearly a decade, helping shape the president's policy agenda and communicate his priorities to the American public. He first rose to prominence as a senior adviser and speechwriter during Trump's 2016 campaign before serving in the first administration, where he played a leading role in developing immigration and border security policies.

Since Trump's return to the White House, Miller has served as deputy chief of staff for policy, helping coordinate the administration's efforts to carry out its agenda. He has been closely involved in the president's immigration crackdown, border enforcement initiatives and broader America First policies, making him one of the administration's most prominent policy figures.

His appointment places a trusted Trump ally at the center of White House operations as the president enters the final two years of his term. Miller will be responsible for coordinating the administration's priorities, managing the president's staff and helping navigate an increasingly difficult legislative environment after Democrats' victories in the November 3 midterm elections.

Wiles, who became the first woman to serve as White House chief of staff, will remain involved in Trump's political operation. She previously helped lead Trump's successful 2024 presidential campaign and has been a key figure in his political organization for years. Trump credited her with doing an outstanding job in the White House and thanked her for her service. Wiles posted to X Friday afternoon to announce her departure.

The transition marks a significant shift in the administration's leadership as Trump prepares to advance his remaining priorities with Democrats set to take control of Congress in January. Miller's promotion places one of the president's longest serving and most trusted advisers in the administration's top staff position, while Wiles will continue working to support Trump's political agenda outside the White House.
