House Republicans angered by Trump's choice of Stephen Miller as chief of staff

President Donald Trump's appointment of Stephen Miller as chief of staff has sparked anger among House Republicans, who blame his immigration policies for the party's midterm losses. Several lawmakers called the decision "horrible" and expressed "utter disbelief." Republicans lost both chambers in Tuesday's midterms, with Democrats projected to win over 250 House seats and at least 54 Senate seats. GOP lawmakers said Miller's immigration crackdown alienated Latino voters, particularly in Texas, despite warnings that his policies were backfiring in their districts. The White House defended the pick, with officials praising Miller's record on border security and the America First agenda. Trump called Miller one of his "most trusted advisors," while some Republicans acknowledged he was not the sole reason for the party's defeat.
