What comes next at the White House? Brooks and Capehart’s post-election discussion on PBS
One appointment frames the post-election debate in Washington: Stephen Miller replacing Susie Wiles as White House chief of staff. That is the starting point for David Brooks and Jonathan Capehart’s discussion with Geoff Bennett on PBS News Hour on November 6, 2026. Associated Press also reported the replacement in an article published by NBC New York, independently corroborating the news behind the conversation.
In the original video, published on the PBS NewsHour channel, Brooks and Capehart examine the White House leadership shakeup, Republican divisions and Democrats’ preparations to take control of Congress. The reason to watch is the format: a political analysis conversation rather than a string of official statements. The guests’ interpretations should be understood as commentary and kept distinct from reported events.
