President Donald Trump has named Stephen Miller, his deputy chief of staff, as White House chief of staff, replacing Susie Wiles. Trump announced the change on Truth Social and said Wiles will move to his political operation, according to NBC News and Bloomberg. NBC reports, citing a White House official, that Wiles submitted her resignation on Thursday night. The shake-up follows Republican losses in the midterm elections, which give Democrats control of Congress, Epoch Times reports. Western Journal describes the move as a signal of how Trump will handle a Democratic majority in Congress.
