President Donald Trump announced on Friday that Stephen Miller, his deputy chief of staff, would replace Susie Wiles as chief of staff.

In a post on Truth Social, Trump said Wiles did an "outstanding job" and would be moved to the "Trump Political Operation".

The news comes after Republicans suffered a series of major defeats in the 2026 midterm elections, including losing control of both chambers of Congress.
