Susie Wiles, the first woman to hold the position of White House Chief of Staff, has departed from her role, marking a significant change in the administration's leadership. This move comes amid a series of high-profile resignations and dismissals of women from Trump's inner circle, including Katie Zacharia, Kristi Noem, Pam Bondi, Tulsi Gabbard, and Kimberly Guilfoyle.
Wiles expressed gratitude for the "honor of a lifetime" and praised the accomplishments made during her tenure, which included securing the border, cutting taxes, and strengthening the economy. She had previously announced her cancer-free status in September. Her departure leaves the leadership team overwhelmingly male. The president's announcement of Wiles's departure, along with her replacement by Stephen Miller, was made via a post on Truth Social.
This development follows a blue wave election that gave Democrats control of both chambers of Congress in the midterm elections.
