“Act of vengeance”: Democrats slam Trump’s appointment of Miller as Chief of Staff

What's behind this

Following a midterm election rout, President Donald Trump removed Susie Wiles, the first woman to serve as White House chief of staff, and named longtime adviser Stephen Miller as her replacement. Miller, described as a hard‑line immigration architect and a key figure in the administration’s strict immigration policies, is also noted for his strong views on Iran, Venezuela and Greenland. The move, announced on a Friday, came after Republicans suffered a drubbing in the midterms and drew sharp criticism from Democratic leaders, who labeled the appointment an “act of vengeance.”
