President Trump announced Friday that Stephen Miller will become White House chief of staff on Monday, Nov. 9, replacing Susie Wiles. Wiles will move to Trump’s political operation.
The chief of staff runs the president’s day-to-day schedule and decides who gets to see him and which issues reach his desk, so the change affects how the White House is run. Miller currently serves as deputy chief of staff. Wiles’s last day is Friday, Nov. 6, and Miller starts Monday, Nov. 9.
What the announcement said
Trump wrote in a Truth Social post: “I am pleased to announce that Mr. Stephen Miller, the current Deputy Chief of Staff of the Trump Administration, and one of my most trusted advisors, will become the Chief of Staff starting Monday, November 9, 2026.”
On Wiles, the post said: “Susie Wiles, who has done an outstanding job, will be moving over to the Trump Political Operation. I want to thank her for her service as Chief of Staff – She has done a great job!”
Wiles’s statement
Wiles also issued a statement soon after the announcement, in a post on X: “Today is my last day as White House Chief of Staff.” She added: “Serving President Trump in the White House has been the honor of a lifetime.” She also said: “While my role may be changing, my commitment to the President and the mission never will.”
