Stephen Miller Calls Trump GOP More Popular 'Than Ever' in First CoS Speech
Miller thanked Trump for "saving the GOP" just days after the Democrats swept control of Congress in the midterms.
In his first Chief of Staff speech, Stephen Miller, President Donald Trump’s new White House chief of staff, declared that the Republican Party is “more popular than ever” following the midterms. Miller, who replaced Susie Wiles in the administration’s staff shuffle this week, thanked Trump for “saving America” and the GOP. He praised Trump for strengthening and making the party more resilient during his tenure.
Despite the GOP losing at least 44 House seats and seven Senate seats, Miller’s comments reflect the administration’s mood post-election. While acknowledging the economy and the war in Iran as factors, Trump argued he wouldn’t have won if he were on the ballot. Miller pledged unwavering loyalty to Trump, emphasizing the president’s role in saving the military, economy, border, and the country from threats.
This staff shuffle indicates Trump’s reluctance to engage with Democratic lawmakers eager to investigate the administration. Miller, a longtime Trump supporter, has been instrumental in shaping the administration’s aggressive immigration agenda.
