The Guardian reported that President Donald Trump said Susie Wiles will leave her post as White House chief of staff, making her the first woman to hold the position. Trump announced the change on Truth Social, naming immigration hard‑liner Stephen Miller as her replacement. The announcement came days after Democrats secured control of both chambers of Congress in the recent midterm elections. In a statement, Wiles thanked the president for the "honor of a lifetime" before departing. Her exit leaves the senior White House team overwhelmingly male, according to the report.
The move marks a significant reshuffle of the president’s inner circle, occurring amid a broader pattern of senior female officials leaving the administration.
Why it matters
The staffing change reduces female representation at the highest level of the White House and follows a major electoral shift that gave Democrats control of Congress.
