President Donald Trump announced on his Truth Social page that Stephen Miller, the president’s deputy chief of staff, would assume the post of White House chief of staff on Monday, November 9, 2026. The former chief, Susie Wiles, is slated to move to a position in a non‑governmental organization associated with Trump’s political activities, according to the announcement.
Trump’s post, posted on November 6, reads that Miller is “one of my most trusted advisors,” and also notes Wiles’ transition to the non‑governmental body. The appointment is set to take effect on Monday, and it comes as a clear shift in the administration’s inner circle.
Earlier in October, Trump had publicly denied circulating reports that he was replacing chief of staff. The new appointment is the first confirmation of such a change since that denial, and the administration has not provided further statement beyond the Truth Social post.
While the announcement is straightforward, the absence of a detailed briefing offers limited information on the reasoning behind the move or the specific responsibilities Miller will carry out in his new role. The move also raises questions about the function and scope of the non‑governmental organization Wiles will join, for which details remain unreported.
Stephen Miller has long been a key figure in the Trump administration. He is acknowledged as a proponent of the president’s immigration policies and is described in news reports as a former architect of the administration’s immigration crackdown. His promotion is consistent with his role as deputy chief of staff, but the appointment does not include a public explanation of how his responsibilities will shift in the new capacity.
BBC News reported that the president announced the change on Friday, confirming that Miller would replace Wiles as chief of staff. The BBC article offers the same core facts as the TASS report but does not specify the date of the effective start or mention Wiles’ new role.
CNN reported that Susie Wiles is departing the chief of staff position and will be replaced by Stephen Miller. The CNN write‑up echoes the essential facts presented by TASS and BBC and adds no additional details on the transition.
In summary, Trump has confirmed that Stephen Miller will take over as White House chief of staff on November 9, 2026, with Susie Wiles moving to a non‑governmental organization affiliated with his political activities. The move follows Trump’s earlier denial of speculation that a change in chief of staff was forthcoming. No further details regarding the new chief’s duties or the nature of the organization Wiles will join have been released.
What remains unclear are the specific reasons behind the appointment, the scope of Miller’s new responsibilities, and the exact nature of the organization to which Wiles will be assigned. Those uncertainties are the only points left to be clarified by the administration, as the sources do not provide further information beyond the basic facts of the transition. In its current form, the administered statement confirms the personnel change but leaves the broader implications and operational details unresolved.>
