Trump says Stephen Miller to replace Susie Wiles as White House chief of staff

President Trump announced that Stephen Miller will replace Susie Wiles as White House chief of staff, a shake-up revealed three days after Democrats won landslide midterm victories and secured majority control of both the House and Senate. The timing matters because the change comes as the administration faces a divided government and a strengthened Democratic opposition. Wiles’s departure and Miller’s promotion put a prominent hardline policy adviser at the center of White House operations. What to watch next is how quickly Miller consolidates control over the staff and whether the transition alters the administration’s legislative strategy.
