The president announced on Friday that Stephen Miller will replace Susie Wiles as White House chief of staff, The Guardian reported. Miller, described as the architect of Donald Trump’s sweeping immigration crackdown, is taking the role just days after Republicans lost control of Congress in the midterm elections. The announcement also confirmed that Wiles, the current chief of staff and the first woman to hold the position, has been ousted. The president’s decision marks a rapid shift in senior White House personnel amid a changing political landscape.
The move places a longtime Trump adviser at the centre of the administration’s operations at a time when the party faces a new congressional reality.
Why it matters
