The Aporia · Trump replaces Susie Wiles with Stephen Miller as chief of staff after GOP’s midterm defeat

President Donald Trump announced on Friday, November 6, 2026, that Stephen Miller will replace Susie Wiles as White House chief of staff following the Republican Party's loss in the midterm elections. Wiles, who is the first woman to hold this position and had recently undergone treatment for breast cancer, praised her time working with Trump and said she would continue supporting his political organization. Miller, a longtime immigration policy architect and close adviser to Trump since his 2016 campaign, will take over in what is seen as an effort to solidify the administration’s hard-line stance on immigration issues.
