Stephen Miller named White House chief of staff after Republican midterm losses

President Donald Trump named Stephen Miller as his new chief of staff, replacing Susie Wiles, after Republicans lost both chambers of Congress in Tuesday's midterm elections. Miller, previously deputy chief of staff, will assume the role Monday. Miller, a hard-line immigration architect and MAGA loyalist, signals a shift toward the president's base in his final two years. Democratic leaders Hakeem Jeffries and Chuck Schumer condemned the appointment, with Jeffries calling Miller a "dangerous xenophobe" and demanding his firing. The change follows voter rejection of Trump's immigration policies, with 57% of midterm voters saying enforcement actions went too far. Wiles, who served longer than any first-term chief of staff, will move to Trump's political operation.
