White House chief of staff Susie Wiles is being replaced by Stephen Miller, President Donald Trump said Friday.
The change comes after Republicans were swept out of power during this week's midterm elections and marks a defiant note from Trump. Miller has been the architect of many of Trump's most controversial policies, dating back to his first term, particularly on immigration. Data show voters this week supported Democrats in part because of Trump's aggressive immigration enforcement.
"Stephen's been with me since the beginning. He gets it," Trump told reporters later in the afternoon.
The president said in a post on his platform Truth Social that Wiles - who was the nation's first female White House chief of staff - would continue to work for him on political operations.
