President Donald Trump announced that Deputy Chief of Staff Stephen Miller will replace Susie Wiles as White House chief of staff, with Wiles moving to the Trump Political Operation.
President Donald Trump said on Truth Social that Stephen Miller, the current Deputy Chief of Staff, will become the White House chief of staff on Monday, November 9, 2026, after Susie Wiles steps down. Trump added that Wiles had done an "outstanding job" and will transition to the Trump Political Operation.
"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, 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," Trump wrote.
Wiles posted a statement saying her last day as chief of staff was that day and expressed pride in the administration’s achievements on border security, tax cuts, the economy and the "America First" agenda.
Stephen Miller, who also serves as homeland security adviser, has been a longtime aide to Trump, joining the campaign in 2016 as a speechwriter and later overseeing immigration policy. Vice President JD Vance congratulated Miller, calling him an "amazing patriot" and wishing him success in the new role.
"Very grateful to Susie for her friendship and service to the president and our country. Stephen Miller is an amazing patriot and will do great things. Congrats to him on a well deserved promotion," Vance wrote on X.
The change follows the Republican Party’s loss in the recent midterm elections and comes amid speculation about further cabinet reshuffles, including unverified reports about the defense and state secretaries.
