From the shadows to the fore.. Who is Stephen Miller?
Miller, a long-time prominent member of Trump's inner circle, is one of the main architects of the administration's tough immigration policies.
Wiles, who is described as a solid politician and close advisor to Trump, was the first woman to hold this high position in the history of the United States.
Wiles' departure comes in the wake of the Republican Party's severe defeat in the midterm elections last Tuesday, and she will be replaced by Stephen Miller, a long-time trusted Trump aide. Miller is a former aide to the hawkish Republican Senator from Alabama, Jeff Sessions, who served as Trump's first attorney general. A source said that Wiles submitted her resignation to Trump yesterday evening, Thursday. Wiles issued a statement on social media today, Friday (November 6, 2026), in which she said shortly after Trump’s announcement: “Serving President Trump in the White House has been the honor of a lifetime. I am extremely proud to have been a part of what we have accomplished together, from securing our borders and lowering taxes to strengthening our economy and putting America first.” She added that her commitment to the “president” would not change. Wiles was the longest-serving White House chief of staff under Trump, who succeeded four of them during his first four-year term.
