President Donald Trump said Friday that Deputy Chief of Staff Stephen Miller will replace Susie Wiles as chief of staff. Trump announced the change on Truth Social.
Why it matters: The shakeup follows midterms in which Republicans lost the House and Senate. The Independent reported losses in dozens of governorships and state legislatures.
Where they split: Outlets differ on whether to describe the move as a firing tied to the election loss or as a reassignment, as Trump presented it.
Left coverage, 30 sources: The left frames the move as Trump pushing out Wiles after a heavy midterm defeat and elevating the official behind his immigration crackdown.
Right coverage, 34 sources: The right reports the change as a personnel decision, with one outlet calling it a firing after the midterm loss and another stressing Trump's praise for both aides.
What’s next: Miller assumes the chief of staff role Monday, Nov. 9.
