What happened
White House Chief of Staff Susie Wiles has resigned, and Stephen Miller has been named to replace her, according to Liberty Nation. The transition begins Monday, November 9, 2026.
Miller, a longtime adviser to President Donald Trump, said in a social media post that he was “honored beyond words” to accept the role. Speaking at a Mar-a-Lago event on Friday, he pledged his absolute loyalty and unwavering commitment to the president’s success.
Miller is widely credited as the chief architect of Trump’s hardline immigration agenda. He has also helped shape federal law enforcement and crime-reduction campaigns in cities run by Democrats, including the federal takeover of D.C. policing. He has advocated using military force against drug cartels and has supported aggressive proposals regarding foreign territories.
Reports from The Atlantic and CNN, citing people familiar with Trump’s decision, said the president wanted a chief of staff who would not rein him in and could manage coming clashes with Democrats. The outlet described Miller’s appointment as a signal that Trump is preparing for a confrontational lame-duck session.
Wiles was the first woman to serve as White House chief of staff and, after nearly two years in the position, became Trump’s longest-serving chief of staff. She played a key role in Trump’s election and in managing his White House afterward.
