President Donald Trump announced on his Truth Social page that Stephen Miller, who serves as Deputy Chief of Staff, will become the White House Chief of Staff on Monday, November 9, 2026. The announcement was reported by TASS, a Russian news agency, noting that the former chief, Susie Wiles, will transition to a role in a non‑governmental organization associated with Trump’s political activities.
Trump stated, in a post on Truth Social, that Miller is one of his most trusted advisers and will “start as chief of staff on Monday, November 9.” He added that Wiles would move to a new position outside the executive office, “in a non‑governmental organization linked to my 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 posted the statement amid earlier speculation that he was replacing the current chief of staff. In mid‑October, Trump categorically denied those reports, saying he had no intention of changing the post.
The TASS report indicates that the transition to Miller will take effect on Monday, aligning with the conclusion of the current administration’s term. No further details about Miller’s new responsibilities or the structure of the non‑governmental organization have yet been disclosed.
While the decision marks a significant shift in the White House leadership team, the sources do not provide additional context on why the change is occurring or how Miller’s experience will influence the incoming administration’s agenda.
Until further statements are released, observers will watch closely to see how the new chief of staff shapes policy coordination and staff management in the coming months.
