The American president changes the leadership of the White House following the midterm election defeat. Miller replaces Susie Wiles.
President of the United States Donald Trump announced that current deputy chief of staff Stephen Miller will replace Susie Wiles as White House chief of staff starting Monday. Wiles will move to Trump's political operation.
In a statement to reporters, Trump explained the move by saying that "sometimes in life you have to make changes" and that he "wanted to make a change." The announcement comes after Republicans lost control of both houses of Congress in this week's midterm elections.
Trump also revealed plans for changes in his cabinet following the election defeat. In an interview on CBS's "60 Minutes" airing Sunday, he responded "Yes, a little bit" when asked if he intends to fire anyone.
The role of White House Chief of Staff is one of the most influential positions in the U.S. presidential administration, responsible for the daily management of the executive office and coordination among various departments. Stephen Miller, the new appointee, is a long-standing figure in Trump's inner circle, known for his conservative stances on immigration policies.
The decision follows the results of the November 3, 2026 midterm elections, where Republicans lost their majority in both the House of Representatives and the Senate. These elections, held midway through the presidential term, traditionally serve as a referendum on the performance of the incumbent administration. The defeats prompted Trump to reassess his governing team.
Cabinet changes after midterm elections are not unusual in American politics, but they often represent an attempt to revive the presidential agenda in the face of a Congress controlled by the opposition. Miller's appointment marks a further shift toward figures loyal to the president within the administration.
