Susie Wiles out, Stephen Miller in, as Trump's chief of staff
President Trump announced Friday that his chief of staff, Susie Wiles, is leaving the White House and longtime adviser Stephen Miller will take her place. The move comes after Republicans suffered sweeping defeats in the midterms, losing dozens of House seats and control of the Senate.

What the coverage shows
Most outlets converge on the same basic personnel change: Susie Wiles is out and Stephen Miller is in as White House chief of staff. Fox News, NBC News, ABC News, Newsweek and CBS News frame it as a straightforward replacement, while Axios, The Independent and the New York Times add more interpretive labels for Miller, emphasizing his hardline immigration role. The Hill and CNBC are the only outlets in this set to explicitly connect the shift to midterm election results, and the New York Times also has one separate item about Wiles being accused of blocking health policies.
