Stephen Miller replaces Wiles as chief of staff

Stephen Miller becomes White House chief of staff on Monday, November 9, replacing Susie Wiles. President Trump made the announcement on Friday via Truth Social. Wiles, who served as chief of staff, will move to the Trump Political Operation. Trump described Miller as one of his most trusted advisors and said Wiles had done an outstanding job.

The leadership change follows recent midterm elections where Democrats seized control of both the House and Senate. Miller, previously the deputy chief of staff, had served as a longtime adviser to the president. His promotion signals a shift in administration priorities after the Republican setback.

Katie Miller, Stephen Miller’s wife and a conservative influencer, announced on Sunday that she is stepping back from her podcast. She posted on X that she makes every decision based on what is best for her children and family. Miller stated that the time commitment of recording was too great while her husband took on the new role.

“I’ve decided to stop recording new podcast episodes,” Miller wrote. She emphasized that raising her four kids is her top priority. Miller said she will cheer President Trump and his team on from outside the administration. The show, The Katie Miller Podcast, launched in 2025.

Guests on the program have included Elon Musk and Secretary of State Marco Rubio. The most recent episode aired on October 27. Miller added that two previously taped episodes will still be released. The shift in her public role coincides with her husband’s move into the top position in the executive branch.
