Trump appoints controversial adviser Stephen Miller as chief of staff
Miller replaces Susie Wiles, the first woman to hold that position, who has been with the President of the United States since taking her second term in January 2025, the same woman who led the Republican strategy in the presidential election.
U.S. President Donald Trumpannounced on Fridaythat his Chiefof Staff will be adviser Stephen Miller, one of the highest positions in the White House.
"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 take office as Chief of Staff from Monday,November 9, 2026, "Mr. Trump said on the Truth Social network.
Miller will replace Susie Wiles, the first woman to hold that position, and accompany the president on his second term since he took office in January 2025 and after leading the Republican strategy in the 2024 election.
"Wiles, who has done a great job, will become part of trump's political structure. I want to thank him for his service as chief of staff; he has done a great job! "the president said.
Miller, born in 1985 in California, has been one of the leading architects of migration and border policy, including vetoing Muslim-majority countries and attempts to end the DACA migration program that former President Barack Obama created in 2012.
Miller's election follows the biggest Republican defeat in the mid-term election since the 1970s, as the Democrats have easily regained the majority of Congress.
Trump Wants to Defend His War Against Iran
On the other hand, Trump has stressed that Israel and the Middle East "would not have existed" if he "had not prevented" Iran from possessing a nuclear weapon.
In a post on the Truth Social platform, he stressed that "it is an opinion that nobody wants to say, but everyone knows it is true." This statementfollows criticism from Vice President JD Vance.
Vance published on Wednesday in the "X" newspaper that the "reason" the Republicans lost the midterm election last Tuesdaywas the war in Iran, but internal data from the Republican Party indicated that the problem was not abstention, but because many of those who voted for Trump in 2024 voted for Democrats this time.
