Recent Republican midterm losses have triggered a White House reorganization, including the replacement of Chief of Staff Susie Wiles with Stephen Miller, alongside multiple Justice Department resignations in early November 2026.

Historical patterns of turnover in Trump administrations and statements from the president shape assessments of which officials are most exposed before the year ends.
