Former White House Chief of Staff Susie Wiles shared her thoughts on Friday morning following President Donald Trump’s announcement of her departure. In a heartfelt message, she expressed unwavering loyalty to the president.
Wiles, who has been with Trump since the onset of his second term, released her statement shortly after the announcement that Stephen Miller would succeed her. She highlighted the significant achievements of the Trump administration during her tenure.
“Today is my last day as White House Chief of Staff,” she stated. “Serving President Trump in this capacity has been the honor of a lifetime. I am proud of what we accomplished, from securing our borders to tax cuts that strengthened our economy and put America First.”
She praised her colleagues at the White House, noting their importance in her experiences. “I’m grateful for the extraordinary people I’ve worked with,” Wiles added. She reassured supporters that her commitment to Trump and his mission would remain steadfast.
This announcement followed a major reshuffle within Trump’s senior leadership, where he confirmed Miller’s promotion from Deputy Chief of Staff. “I am pleased to announce that Mr. Stephen Miller will become the Chief of Staff starting Monday, November 9, 2026,” Trump posted on Truth Social.
Wiles’ change in roles signifies a new chapter, as she was pivotal in Trump’s 2024 campaign and made history as the first woman to hold the Chief of Staff position. Although details about her new responsibilities are yet to be disclosed, her influence in Trump’s political strategy is expected to continue, particularly following the recent midterm elections that challenged Republican dynamics.
Miller, now set to oversee White House operations, is known for his focus on immigration and domestic policies. Wiles’ departure might hint at a strategic adjustment within Trump’s inner circle without severing ties.
Notably, Wiles concluded her remarks with a strong affirmation of loyalty, setting a tone of collaboration as she shifts her focus within Trump’s network.
