In brief
President Donald Trump announced that Stephen Miller, the White House deputy chief of staff, will become chief of staff on November 9, 2026. Wiles will move to a non‑governmental organization linked to Trump’s political activities. Multiple outlets, including TASS, BBC and CNBC, reported the same change.
President Donald Trump announced on his Truth Social account that Stephen Miller, his current deputy chief of staff, will become the White House chief of staff on Monday, November 9, 2026.
In a post, Trump wrote:
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.The post also noted that Susie Wiles, the existing chief of staff, will transition to a role in a non‑governmental organization linked to Trump’s political activities.
Other news outlets, including the BBC and CNBC, reported the promotion and confirmed that Miller will replace Wiles in the top aide position at the White House.
Miller has been described as the architect of Trump’s hard‑line immigration policies. His promotion is likely to influence the administration’s priorities and daily operations.
The change follows Trump’s earlier denial of speculation that he intended to replace Wiles, which he stated in mid‑October.
Whether the new chief of staff will continue the same approach to policy or shift focus remains to be seen as the administration moves into the final months of its term.
