Trump Removes White House Chief of Staff Susie Wiles, Appoints Stephen Miller as Replacement
WASHINGTON:US President Donald Trump has removed White House Chief of Staff Susie Wiles and appointed Stephen Miller, a longtime close aide and architect of his hardline immigration policies, as her replacement following the Republican Party’s major losses in the midterm elections.
Trump has reportedly initiated a major shake-up at the White House after Republicans lost their majorities in both the House of Representatives and the Senate. Wiles is set to leave her position on Monday and take on new responsibilities within Trump’s political team.
The appointment marks the first major high-level administrative change during Trump’s second presidential term.
According to US media reports, Trump’s frustration over the election results had been growing, with the president reportedly blaming his political team’s strategy for the Republican Party’s poor performance.
Miller previously served as White House Deputy Chief of Staff and has been associated with Trump since his first presidential campaign in 2015. He is widely regarded as a key architect of Trump’s controversial immigration policies.
Wiles made history as the first woman to serve as White House Chief of Staff. She also managed Trump’s 2024 presidential campaign. She recently announced that she had completed treatment for breast cancer.
During Trump’s first presidential term, four people served as White House Chief of Staff, but Wiles held the position longer than any of her predecessors.
