Stephen Miller faces bipartisan backlash as Trump's chief of staff role proves challenging

Political expert David Rothkopf predicts Stephen Miller will face significant difficulty as President Trump's new chief of staff, citing bipartisan opposition and internal resistance after the midterm elections. Miller, promoted from deputy chief of staff, is viewed as a hard-line ideologue behind the immigration agenda that hurt Republicans in the midterms. Incoming House Speaker Hakeem Jeffries has already refused to work with him, and insiders reportedly dislike Miller intensely. Analysts suggest Trump elevated Miller to signal a combative stance toward congressional investigations, but Rothkopf says Miller's aggressive approach is losing support. He warned that Miller's "storm" rhetoric may leave him isolated, with few allies backing him when he seeks help.
