Trump has been quietly reaching out to allies and Republican officials to gauge their views on whether to remove White House chief of staff Susie Wiles, with the president reportedly floating potential replacements during those conversations. The discussions are taking place less than three weeks ahead of the November 3 midterm elections, at a time when GOP poll numbers are already under significant strain.
A Republican operative reportedly told Trump to his face that Wiles has 'burned a lot of people' during her tenure running the White House.
Among those mentioned as possible successors are deputy chief Stephen Miller, New York Yankees president Randy Levine, peace envoy Steve Witkoff, housing secretary Bill Pulte, and former House Speaker Kevin McCarthy.
Trump publicly dismissed the reports as 'TOTAL FAKE NEWS' and declared that Wiles has his 'COMPLETE confidence' — yet the calls have reportedly already taken place.
