Katie Miller lobbied White House insiders for Stephen Miller's chief-of-staff promotion

Katie Miller lobbied White House insiders to support her husband Stephen Miller's promotion to chief of staff, following Susie Wiles' departure after Republican midterm losses. He secured the top job by Friday. Miller made roughly six calls to officials including Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent and people tied to Vice President JD Vance, arguing her husband should succeed Wiles. She began advocating only after Wiles' exit became clear, sources said. Katie Miller responded on X: "BREAKING: Wife supports husband." Stephen Miller, architect of hardline immigration policies, is seen as more polarizing than Wiles, drawing condemnation from Democrats like Hakeem Jeffries.
