Trump Names Stephen Miller as New Chief of Staff

On November 6, 2026, President Trump announced the appointment of Stephen Miller as his new chief of staff, succeeding Susie Wiles. This decision comes in the wake of significant Republican losses in the midterm elections, prompting a shift in leadership within the White House. Miller, a long-time advisor to Trump, is expected to bring a hardline approach to the administration's policies and strategies moving forward.

The change in chief of staff is seen as a critical move for Trump as he navigates a newly Democratic-controlled Congress. With Miller's appointment, Trump aims to reinforce his administration's agenda and respond to the challenges posed by the opposition party. This leadership change reflects Trump's ongoing commitment to his core policies, particularly in areas such as immigration and trade.

Miller's previous role in the administration has been marked by his influence on immigration policy and his close alignment with Trump's vision. His appointment signals Trump's intention to maintain a strong stance on key issues, even as he faces increased scrutiny and potential investigations from the Democratic majority.
