Richard Walters to Leave White House After Stephen Miller Named Chief of Staff
Fox News reported that Deputy Chief of Staff Richard Walters will leave the White House, with his departure coming after President Donald Trump appointed Stephen Miller as chief of staff. President Trump announced on November 6 that Miller, previously deputy chief of staff, would replace Susie Wiles as chief of staff, a move tied to the administration’s response to the recent midterm elections.
The appointment, noted by multiple outlets, was part of a broader staff reshuffle as Democrats prepare to take control of Congress. The earlier announcements highlighted Miller’s long-standing role in the administration’s immigration agenda and described the change as a reaction to Republican setbacks in the midterms, with the White House positioning the new chief of staff to steer the agenda in a Democratic-controlled Congress.
