Trump: “Stephen Miller to replace White House chief of staff ... Wiles to oversee outside political groups”

[Financial News]  

U.S. President Donald Trump announced on the 6th (local time) that he would replace the White House chief of staff. He said Susie Wiles would step down and Deputy Chief of Staff Stephen Miller would fill the role.
Trump announced the change of chief of staff that day on his social media platform, Truth Social.
Miller will become chief of staff in place of Wiles starting on the 9th. Trump said Miller, a longtime aide, was “one of my most trusted advisers.”
He also said of outgoing Chief of Staff Wiles that she had “delivered outstanding results,” and that she “will move to Trump Political Operations (TPO).”
TPO is not a formal organization. It is a term used by the media to refer collectively to Trump’s political fundraising (PAC) and the network of outside political organizations.
The plan is for Wiles to leave the administration, oversee Trump’s political organization, and manage both elections and political fundraising.
The abrupt replacement of the chief of staff came three days after the ruling Republican Party suffered a crushing defeat in the midterm elections, in which Trump himself actively campaigned for candidates. When the new Congress convenes next January, Trump will have to spend the remaining two years of his term governing with an opposition-controlled Congress.
Concerns are already emerging that Miller’s becoming White House chief of staff will lead to clashes with Democrats. Miller is a key figure who has planned and promoted Trump’s controversial mass deportation of immigrants. Democrats have already said they would launch a sweeping investigation into the Trump administration’s immigration policies.
Some analysts say the change of chief of staff could be the first sign of a cabinet reshuffle.
