Trump names Stephen Miller as new White House chief of staff

Miller takes over role Monday

Stephen Miller, currently serving as deputy chief of staff, begins his new duties on Monday. Susie Wiles will move to the president's political operation after submitting her resignation Thursday night. Trump described Miller as one of his most trusted advisors in a social media post.

Wiles praised for past work

The outgoing chief of staff said serving the president was an honor of a lifetime. She listed accomplishments including securing the border and cutting taxes during her tenure. Trump stated that Wiles did a very good job before making the change.

Shift follows congressional losses

Republicans lost control of both the House and Senate in Tuesday's midterm elections. The administration now faces Democratic majorities in Congress for the remaining two years. Officials say this reshuffle signals an aggressive approach to domestic policy and politics.
