Stephen Miller begins his tenure as White House chief of staff on Monday, November 9. President Donald Trump confirmed the appointment on Truth Social on Friday, replacing outgoing chief of staff Susie Wiles.
In his post, Trump described Miller as a deputy chief of staff and one of his most trusted advisors. The president stated that Wiles, who has served as chief of staff, is moving to the Trump Political Operation. Trump thanked Wiles for her service and noted she has done a great job.
Miller’s promotion follows last week’s election results, where Democrats secured control of both the House and the Senate. The change in leadership comes at a time of significant political shift for the administration.
Miller’s wife, Katie Miller, announced she is stepping back from her podcast to prioritize family time. In a post on X, she said she makes every decision based on what is best for her children and their family. She noted that the time commitment for the show is too great now that Stephen Miller has taken on this new role.
Katie Miller stated that nothing is more important than raising their four kids. She said she will cheer the president and his team from outside the administration. The couple’s podcast, which launched in 2025, features guests such as Elon Musk and Secretary of State Marco Rubio. The final new episode is expected to be one of two previously taped segments.
The most recent episode of The Katie Miller Podcast aired on October 27. With the two remaining taped episodes scheduled for release, the show will effectively pause until further notice.
