White House Chief of Staff Susie Wiles forcefully rejected a report claiming she intends to leave the Trump administration after the 2026 midterm elections, dismissing the story and reaffirming her commitment to President Donald Trump.
Wiles responded publicly Friday after a report surfaced alleging that she was planning to step down from her influential role in the White House.
“I had the pleasure of reading a piece of Friday fiction, courtesy of the Daily Mail,” Wiles wrote in a post on X.
“To be crystal clear, I am not going anywhere. I am honored and proud to serve President Trump, proud of our team and remain fully committed to advancing his agenda on behalf of the American people.”
She concluded the message with a brief but decisive sign-off: “See you Monday.”
The statement was a direct response to a Daily Mail report that cited five anonymous sources who claimed Wiles intended to depart after the November midterm elections. According to the report, the alleged decision was tied to frustration over recent personnel changes in the administration.
Among the developments cited were President Trump’s decision to elevate Federal Housing Finance Agency Director Bill Pulte to serve as acting Director of National Intelligence and the appointment of Todd Blanche as attorney general.
The report drew swift responses from multiple administration officials.
The White House’s Rapid Response 47 account blasted the story as fabricated, writing: “Total bullshit. Another fake hatchet job from a wannabe reporter peddling anonymous sources who don’t actually know anything.”
Often described as one of Trump’s most trusted advisers, Wiles played a central role in the president’s 2024 campaign and has become one of the most influential figures in the White House.
Her denial also comes at a time when the administration has experienced a series of high-profile personnel changes.
Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem departed her position earlier this year, while former Attorney General Pam Bondi and former Labor Secretary Lori Chavez-DeRemer have also left the administration. Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard recently announced plans to step down as well.
Those departures have fueled speculation about potential additional turnover as the administration approaches the midterm election cycle.
For now, Wiles appears intent on putting the rumors to rest.
Her public statement leaves little ambiguity about her plans, signaling that she expects to remain at the center of Trump’s operation as the administration prepares for the high-stakes 2026 midterm elections and beyond.
