Trump names hardliner Miller chief of staff after midterms rout
Ultra-loyalist Stephen Miller will replace Susie Wiles, who becomes the first major White House casualty from the Democratic landslide earlier this week.
On Friday, President Donald Trump appointed Stephen Miller as his new chief of staff, a move seen as a response to the Republican party's significant losses in the midterms. Miller, 41, is known for his role in Trump's hardline immigration policies. He will replace Susie Wiles, who resigned on Thursday after being elected as the first major White House casualty from the Democratic landslide.
Trump stated that he felt it was time for a change, emphasizing that they sometimes need to make moves in life. Wiles, who had been with Trump since the beginning, was praised for her service but was criticized for her handling of the immigration policy that led to the deaths of two Americans. The appointment of Miller, who has been a close aide to Trump for decades, signals a tougher stance from the administration. Democrats vowed to fight against Miller's policies.
