Wiles described her service in the Trump White House as the greatest honour of her career. She said she was proud of the administration’s record on border enforcement, tax reductions, economic expansion and advancing Trump’s America First programme.
“Today is my last day as White House Chief of Staff,” Wiles wrote. “Serving President Trump in the White House has been the honour of a lifetime.”
She said the administration had worked together to secure the border, reduce taxes, strengthen the economy and put America first. Wiles also praised the colleagues she had worked with during her tenure.
“While my role may be changing, my commitment to the President and the mission never will,” she said.
Trump’s decision to install Miller comes as the White House faces political repercussions from the Republicans’ weak midterm showing. The party lost its majorities in both chambers of Congress, handing the House and Senate to Democrats.
Former President Barack Obama blamed the Republican defeat on what he described as Trump’s divisive political approach.
