After Midterm Rout, Trump Announces Stephen Miller As New Chief Of Staff

On Friday, US President Donald Trump revealed that Stephen Miller, his deputy chief of staff and creator of the administration's strict immigration policy, will assume the role of White House chief of staff. Miller is set to replace Susie Wiles, who had held the position since Trump's inauguration. This decision makes Miller the president's top aide.

Upon announcing the change, Trump stated that Miller is "one of my most trusted advisors," while acknowledging Wiles' "outstanding job" and her impending move to the Trump political operation. Wiles herself expressed pride in her work at the White House, calling it "the honor of a lifetime," and praised the administration's efforts in securing the border, cutting taxes, strengthening the economy, and putting America first.

This development follows Trump's Republican Party's loss of control over the House and Senate following a mid-term election defeat to Democrats.
