The White House deputy chief of staff, Richard Walters, is the first major White House staffer to leave since Stephen Miller was elevated to the top post, Axios reported Sunday.

Walters was one of outgoing chief Susie Wiles’s “closest political lieutenants,” according to the report. He tendered his resignation Friday after Wiles announced she was stepping down.

In the aftermath of the disastrous midterm elections, President Donald Trump announced Miller’s promotion, writing on Truth Social:

I am pleased to announce that Mr. Stephen Miller, the current Deputy Chief of Staff of the Trump Administration, and one of my most trusted advisors, will become the Chief of Staff starting Monday, November 9, 2026. Susie Wiles, who has done an outstanding job, will be moving over to the Trump Political Operation. I want to thank her for her service as Chief of Staff — She has done a great job!

Miller told NewsNation in a statement Sunday, “Richard has been an invaluable member of the White House and has helped deliver some of the Administration’s biggest victories.”

“While he will be leaving us, Richard will continue to help from the outside as we continue to work with all of our strength to deliver for President Trump and his courageous fight to Save America,” Miller added.

Walters told Axios in a statement, “Serving President Trump has been the honor of a lifetime and I will always be thankful to Susie Wiles for the opportunity.”

Some Republican lawmakers bashed Trump’s decision, with Sen. Thom Tillis (R-NC) calling Miller one of the administration’s “most partisan, polarizing figures — and not only polarizing in terms of Republicans and Democrats, but even among Republicans!”

One unnamed GOP lawmaker told reporter Elizabeth Elkind, “Stephen is a megalomaniac who should have never been given the keys to the Ferrari.”

In a 60 Minutes interview to air Sunday night, Trump hinted that more people would be ousted soon.

“In a previous lifetime, you were rather famous for saying ‘You’re fired,’ quite often. After a big midterm defeat like this, do you expect to fire anyone from your team?” CBS News correspondent Ross Douthat asked in a clip posted to X.

“Yeah,” Trump said. “You do a little bit. A little bit. I love my cabinet. I think they’re good. But I’ll be doing maybe a few changes. I don’t want to mention who.”
