Susie Wiles: List of Potential Replacements if Trump Ousts Chief of Staff
Newsweek ^ | October 15, 2026 | Anna Skinner

Posted on 10/15/2026 1:39:23 PM PDT by MinorityRepublican

White House chief of staff Susie Wiles, whom President Donald Trump said still has his "COMPLETE confidence," could soon be removed from her position, according to Politico.

Rumors about Wiles' future intensified this week after Trump reportedly discussed her role and potential successors with advisers, Politico said. Although the president has publicly denied plans to replace Wiles, speculation has persisted as betting markets increasingly price in her departure before year's end.

The rumors come less than three weeks before the November 3 midterm elections in which Republicans are fighting to maintain control of Congress amid a series of competitive races shaped by Trump's declining approval ratings, persistent inflation, high gas prices and concerns over U.S. involvement in the Iran war.

The unsettled political climate could lead to a shake-up of Trump's staff, including Wiles. Despite the report, Trump told Newsweek in a statement on Thursday that he was not planning to fire Wiles.

“TOTAL FAKE NEWS Politico doesn’t care about facts, integrity, or honest journalism — it’s why I kicked them out of the White House! Susie Wiles is my loyal and longest serving Chief of Staff — there is a reason for that. She has been with me since the beginning, is my trusted advisor, and has my COMPLETE confidence. President DONALD J. TRUMP," the president said.

Expanding on the matter further, White House spokesperson Danielle Alvarez told Newsweek: “These anonymous sources know nothing. President Trump assembled a united team focused on his America First agenda — not the egos and political games of anonymous outsiders.”

Trump told Newsweek in a statement on Thursday that he was not planning to fire Wiles.

She probably gave him notice that she would like to retire at year end.

I’m not seeing that Ms Wiles has much of any influence on the President pro or con. I had expected her to operate behind the scenes as a Ally + Guardrail for public comments from President Trump, but he seems just as uninhibited and spontaneous as during his first term, if not more so now.

It’s Newsweek and Breitbart. It’s midterms.

It’s October.

Why even give it a thought?

That’s interesting because I was sitting next to her at the Trump rally in Bullhead City yesterday and she did not look very worried!

She is doing with breast cancer. I’m sure she just wants to focus on that.

McCarthy? If he’s going to choose a numbskull, go big and make it Paul Ryano.

He should interview candidates like he did on The Apprentice.

Isn’t an expression of “complete confidence” the kiss of death for anyone in the Trump Administration?
