[0:00] Hi, I'm Lindsay Riser and we are
[0:01] following breaking news out of the White
[0:02] House. Susie Wilds is out as chief of
[0:05] staff. Her replacement will be White
[0:07] House Deputy Chief of Staff Steven
[0:09] Miller. President Trump made the
[0:10] announcement on Truth Social and it's
[0:12] going to happen quickly. Miller will
[0:14] begin on Monday. He thanked Wilds for an
[0:17] outstanding job and said she will now be

[0:57] But while stood by his side and launched
[1:00] an incredible comeback for the president
[1:02] to come back to the White House here in
[1:05] 2024 and she is among his most trusted
[1:09] aids. Um it's not terribly surprising
[1:12] that there is a shakeup. Not only
[1:15] because this is around the time when
[1:17] there would be a change of guard anyway,
[1:20] but after uh those devastating losses
[1:23] for Republicans, uh perhaps the
[1:26] president felt like it was time to go in
[1:28] a new direction, which is certainly what
[1:30] Steven Miller brings to say the very
[1:33] least. Um as our c
