Trump Says Stephen Miller Will Replace Susie Wiles as White House Chief of Staff

President Donald Trump said Friday that Stephen Miller will replace Susie Wiles as White House chief of staff, the top staff job in the White House. The change is set to take effect Monday, November 9, 2026.

Trump announced the decision in a post on Truth Social, a social media platform. NPR reported that Miller will take over as chief of staff on Monday.

Miller currently serves as White House deputy chief of staff, a role below Wiles. Wiles has held the chief of staff job since the first day of the current Trump White House. She will step down from the post this week.

In announcing the change, Trump thanked Wiles for her service as chief of staff, according to Politico.

The announcement came days after Republicans lost control of Congress in the midterm elections. PBS NewsHour reported that Trump named Miller chief of staff after the party's major midterm losses.
