Stephen Miller Named Chief of Staff After Wiles Fired
President Donald Trump fired Chief of Staff Susie Wiles on Friday following the Republicans' decisive election defeat, with her deputy Stephen Miller set to take over the White House role on Monday. Miller, 41, is a right-wing hardliner and key architect of Trump's uncompromising deportation policies. California Governor Gavin Newsom has compared him to Voldemort, while conservative commentator Steve Bannon calls him "Trump's prime minister." Miller survived Trump's first term as a close adviser and speechwriter. He has pushed controversial migration policies, advocated for US control over Greenland, and reportedly drove US withdrawal from international organizations. His appointment signals the future direction of the MAGA movement.
