President Donald Trump announced Friday that White House chief of staff Susie Wiles will step down this week, with Stephen Miller replacing her.
“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,” Trump wrote in a post on Truth Social.
Trump said Wiles has “done an outstanding job” and “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!”
Moments later, Wiles wrote in a post on X that Friday would be her last day as chief of staff.
“Serving President Trump in the White House has been the honor of a lifetime. I’m so proud to have been a part of what we’ve accomplished together from securing our border and cutting taxes to strengthening our economy and putting America First,” she wrote. “While my role may be changing, my commitment to the President and the mission never will.”

Several Republican lawmakers are fuming over President Donald Trump’s elevation of Stephen Miller to be his chief of staff.
"Horrible decision," Rep. Marlin Stutzman, R-Ind., told Fox News Digital Friday after Trump announced his decision.
A Republican lawmaker who was granted anonymity to speak candidly described being in "utter disbelief."
Tensions were rising against Miller in the wake of Republicans’ terrible performance in Tuesday’s midterm elections. Multiple House Republicans who spoke with Fox News Digital just moments before his promotion said Miller, who spearheads Trump’s immigration policy, should be fired.
When later asked about his promotion, one House Republican who said Miller should be fired replied simply with a facepalm emoji.
The second GOP lawmaker told Fox News Digital that Miller ignored multiple warnings from House Republicans in the past, arguing that Trump’s immigration crackdown is what voters asked for.
"I've been in several group meetings where a lot of us have told him, ‘Your immigration enforcement policies are backfiring back home. Our people are mad, our businesses are mad — even in deep red districts — and it is impacting not just the voters, but the donors, and everybody top to bottom," that GOP lawmaker said.
"But it looked to me like Stephen Miller was only after numbers. … He would not listen to us."
