WASHINGTON — President Donald Trump announced on his Truth Social account that Stephen Miller, his current Deputy Chief of Staff, will become White House Chief of Staff beginning Monday, November 9, 2026.
Trump added that Susie Wiles, who has served as Chief of Staff, will transition to a position within a non‑governmental organization connected to his political activities.
“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,” Trump wrote.
Earlier this month, Trump had categorically denied speculation that he intended to replace the White House Chief of Staff.
BBC News reported the same development, noting that Miller, known for his hard‑line immigration policy, will step into the role the following Monday.
No other independent verification has yet appeared; the Guardian reference to Miller’s appointment could not be accessed and was marked as a page not found.
Observers note the appointment comes amid ongoing political realignments within the administration, with Miller’s prior experience and close relationship to Trump positioned as key factors in the decision.
