In brief
President Donald Trump announced on his Truth Social page that Stephen Miller will assume the role of White House Chief of Staff on Nov. 9, 2026. Miller’s predecessor, Susie Wiles, will transition to a position with a nonprofit linked to Trump’s political activities. Earlier speculation that Trump was replacement for Wiles had been denied by the president.
On Monday, November 9, 2026, President Donald Trump will take from his current chief of staff, Susie Wiles, the title of White House Chief of Staff as Stephen Miller steps into the post, according to a post made by Trump on his Truth Social page on Friday, November 6.
"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 advisers, will become the Chief of Staff starting Monday, November 9, 2026," Trump wrote on Truth Social.
Wiles will move from the White House to a role within a non‑governmental organization associated with Trump’s political activities. The move marks a significant shift in the administration’s inner circle, with Miller widely noted for his hard‑line immigration policy stance.
Sources confirm the transition announcement and the effective date. The post itself, released by Trump on Truth Social, confirmed Miller’s elevation and Wiles’ new assignment. All outlets reporting on the shift—TASS, BBC, NBC and CNN—reference the same factual details from the Trump post.
Earlier this year, Trump had publicly dismissed speculation that he intended to replace Chief of Staff Susie Wiles with Stephen Miller. Those comments now appear to have turned from denial of speculation to confirmation, according to TASS which noted that Trump had previously rejected reports of a replacement.
Thus the confirmation rests on Trump’s own statement, while the earlier denial remains a separate, now superseded, element of the story’s timeline.
