Stephen Miller named White House Chief of Staff
Donald Trump has named Stephen Miller, previously deputy chief of staff, as White House chief of staff, replacing Susie Wiles after historic Republican losses in the midterm elections. The change was reported by France 24 on 7 November 2026. Miller is described as the architect of the administration’s immigration crackdown. Wiles had been viewed by some as a stabilising presence in the White House. With Democrats now in control of both chambers of Congress, Trump is reportedly looking for a more aggressive approach to advancing his agenda. The France 24 account, presented by Caroline Baum, frames the appointment as a response to the new congressional arithmetic rather than a routine personnel shuffle: after the midterms, the White House faces a legislature in Democratic hands and is turning to a figure closely identified with a hard-line immigration record. The available report does not give further operational details of Miller’s new brief or of Wiles’s departure beyond that political context.
