Trump sacks Susie Wiles after midterm rout, picks Stephen Miller as chief of staff

What's behind this

President Donald Trump announced that Deputy Chief of Staff Stephen Miller will become White House Chief of Staff effective November 9, replacing Susie Wiles who was removed from the role within three days of the GOP’s midterm defeat. Wiles, who had been the longest‑serving chief of staff and the first woman to hold the post, will shift to work for Trump’s political organization, a move praised by the president on his social‑media site. The change follows earlier speculation that the president dismissed, and reflects the appointment of immigration hardliner Miller to the senior position.
