GoKawiilTrump Names Stephen Miller White House Chief of Staff, Replacing Susie Wiles
President Trump announced on Truth Social that Stephen Miller, previously deputy chief of staff for policy and homeland security adviser, will become his new White House chief of staff starting Monday. The move follows Susie Wiles' resignation on Thursday, after Republicans suffered sweeping midterm losses in the House and Senate. Sources say Trump had privately blamed Wiles for the election results and had also considered Steve Witkoff and Jay Clayton for the role.
GoKawiil's interpretation of the reporting above, not reported fact.
The appointment elevates one of the administration's most hardline architects of immigration policy to a position overseeing day-to-day White House operations, which could signal an even more aggressive posture heading into expected congressional investigations next year. Sources suggest Trump favored Miller for his loyalty and willingness to defend him publicly, a quality that may matter more as political pressure mounts. The shakeup also reflects internal tension, with reports that Wiles had already been sidelined from key decisions before her departure.
- Stephen Miller replaces Susie Wiles as White House chief of staff effective Monday.
- The change comes days after Republicans lost control of the House and Senate in the midterms.
- Trump reportedly blamed Wiles privately for the election losses before she resigned.
