IllustrationThe story so far
President Trump said Friday that Susie Wiles is leaving the White House and that Stephen Miller, deputy chief of staff, will become chief of staff starting Monday, November 9. Wiles has held the post since Trump's inauguration and will move to the Trump Political Operation. The change follows Republican midterm losses, including dozens of House seats and control of the Senate.
Senator Thom Tillis criticized the decision 72 hours after the Republican midterm losses, calling it a colossal mistake. He argued that Miller's aggressive immigration tactics contributed to the party's defeat and that promoting him now makes little sense. The appointment is the first major White House shakeup since the election, during which Republicans lost at least seven Senate seats and 42 House seats.
