President Donald J. Trump announced that Stephen Miller will replace Susie Wiles as chief of staff, with Miller set to assume the role on Monday.
President Donald J. Trump said on Friday that Stephen Miller will replace Susie Wiles as White House chief of staff. The announcement follows the recent midterm elections in which Republican candidates lost many seats. Miller, who currently serves as deputy chief of staff and advises the Department of Homeland Security, is slated to take over the position on Monday.
Trump told reporters, "Stephen's been with me since the beginning. He gets it." Wiles said on X that she remains committed to the president's agenda despite the change in her role.
Wiles, who has served as chief of staff since the start of this administration and previously worked on the 2020 campaign in Florida, will continue to handle political operations for the president, according to a post on Truth Social.
Political science professor David Cohen of the University of Akron noted that the chief of staff acts as a key gatekeeper for the president's time and information, adding that the role is intended to ensure a range of voices are heard to the president.
