Stephen Miller named White House chief of staff after Susie Wiles resigns

President Donald Trump announced Friday that Stephen Miller will replace Susie Wiles as White House chief of staff, following Republican losses in the midterm elections. Miller, a longtime immigration policy architect, previously served as deputy chief of staff. Miller, 41, has been a central figure in Trump's administration, driving aggressive immigration enforcement including a goal of 3,000 arrests daily. He also led anti-fraud task forces and served as homeland security adviser, maintaining a role across both Trump terms. The change follows Wiles' resignation Thursday, though Trump denied it was election-related. Polls showed most voters disapproved of immigration enforcement actions, with about 6 in 10 saying they went too far.
