Donald Trump appoints Stephen Miller as White House chief of staff after midterms

Donald Trump appoints Stephen Miller as White House chief of staff after midterms

What's behind this

President Donald Trump announced on Friday that Stephen Miller will replace Susie Wiles as White House chief of staff following the Republican Party’s setbacks in the midterm elections. Miller, described as a longtime aide and a hard‑line immigration architect, is portrayed as a loyal, combative “bulldog” for Trump’s “America First” agenda. Wiles, who had been the first woman to hold the post after the 2024 election, resigned after the midterms. The change positions Miller, a key architect of the administration’s domestic agenda, as Trump’s closest adviser as he faces a newly empowered Democratic Congress.
