Apparently, when election night doesn't go according to plan, somebody has to take the heat — and this time, reports say it was the person sitting closest to the president.

President Donald Trump reportedly erupted at outgoing White House Chief of Staff Susie Wiles following the Republican Party's disappointing midterm election results.

According to a White House source quoted by the Daily Mail, Trump "exploded" at Wiles during a Thursday afternoon meeting with other administration aides. The president reportedly berated her over the GOP's election losses, with accounts claiming the confrontation continued until Wiles eventually left the room.

And by Thursday night, Wiles reportedly handed in her resignation.

Stephen Miller is expected to take over the chief of staff position on Monday.

So, after the Republicans took a beating at the ballot box, the finger-pointing reportedly moved inside the White House.

One thing is certain: working in Washington doesn't always come with a retirement package — sometimes it comes with a front-row seat to the blame game!
