Story summary

On November 9, 2026, Stephen Miller started his role as the new White House chief of staff, replacing Susie Wiles, who stepped down earlier that week. President Donald Trump announced on Truth Social on Friday, November 4, that Stephen Miller would become the Chief of Staff starting Monday, November 9. The decision comes after Republicans lost control of both the House and Senate in the midterm elections. As a hardline aide known for his strict immigration policies, Miller's appointment is expected to lead to more direct confrontations with business interests and potentially tougher stances on immigration.
