What it is
Trump’s post-midterm staffing shift centers on Stephen Miller replacing Susie Wiles and reshaping White House operations and communications staffing.
Overview
Wiles resigned as chief of staff and moved to Trump’s political operation after Republicans lost control of Congress. Trump named Miller to replace her, elevating a longtime adviser tied to immigration enforcement, executive authority and an Iran-war wind-down pitch. The press secretary role remains vacant, with Katie Zacharia denying she is seeking to return and Ben Ferguson reported as a frontrunner.
