Translated by Qiyas from سرمد — Original source
US President Donald Trump said that Stephen Miller will replace Susie Wiles in the role of White House Chief of Staff, just days after Republicans lost control of Congress in the midterm elections.
Trump praised Wiles on his social media platform, stating that she will continue to work in his political organization.
Miller, who has long been a key member of Trump’s inner circle, is a principal architect of the administration’s hardline immigration policies.
Wiles, a seasoned political operator and former advisor to Trump, was the first woman ever to hold the position of White House Chief of Staff.
Wiles’s departure comes almost immediately after the Republican Party’s decisive defeat in Tuesday’s midterm elections. She will be replaced by Stephen Miller, a trusted aide to Trump for many years.
The move also follows months after Wiles announced that she was no longer battling breast cancer, after undergoing treatment for the disease that had been publicly diagnosed in March 2026.
Wiles is the longest-serving White House Chief of Staff in Trump’s presidency, during which four individuals held the post over his four-year term.
