Democrats refuse to work with Trump's new chief of staff Stephen Miller

Democratic House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries said Democrats will not work with Stephen Miller, President Donald Trump's new chief of staff, calling his appointment "irresponsible" during a Nov. 8 television appearance. Jeffries, who is expected to become Speaker when Democrats take the House majority in January, described Miller as a "dangerous xenophobe" and "reckless extremist," citing his role in anti-immigration policies and alleged taxpayer-funded actions harming American citizens. Jeffries also said an impeachment vote against Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth could occur this week with strong Democratic support, accusing him of abuse of power and an unauthorized war in Iran, though the Republican lame-duck majority could table the effort.
