President Donald Trump has tapped longtime loyalist Stephen Miller as his new White House chief of staff, effective Monday, in a major shakeup following Republicans' devastating midterm election defeat.
Stephen Miller spoke at an April 2025 event in Warren, Mich. Jeff Kowalsky/AFP/Getty Images"I am pleased to announce that Mr. Stephen Miller, the current Deputy Chief of Staff of the Trump Administration, and one of my most trusted advisors, will become the Chief of Staff starting Monday, November 9, 2026. Susie Wiles, who has done an outstanding job, will be moving over to the Trump Political Operation. I want to thank her for her service as Chief of Staff - She has done a great job!" the president posted on Truth Social.
Miller, currently serving as deputy chief of staff, would replace Susie Wiles and take command of the White House's day-to-day operations at a critical moment for Trump's second term. The move would elevate one of the president's most trusted and influential advisers, a driving force behind his hardline immigration policies and America First agenda.
