Trump elevates Stephen Miller to White House chief of staff, replacing Susie Wiles
President Donald Trump has promoted long-time aide Stephen Miller to White House chief of staff, replacing Susie Wiles. Trump framed the appointment as a bid to “run things well,” placing day-to-day control of the White House in the hands of an adviser who has been central to his inner circle.
Miller is described as the architect of some of Trump’s toughest domestic policies and as the driving force behind major restrictive domestic initiatives in this administration. Elevating him to chief of staff therefore puts that policy record at the center of White House operations rather than leaving it in a narrower advisory role.
The leadership change comes after Republicans lost control of Congress in the recent midterm elections. With the party no longer holding Congress, the White House faces a more constrained legislative landscape, and the choice of Miller as Wiles’s successor signals how Trump intends to run the remainder of his term from the executive branch.
