smh.com.au [$] —

President Donald Trump has named hardline adviser Stephen Miller as White House chief of staff, replacing Susie Wiles three days after Republicans' midterm election losses. Miller starts Monday. Miller, currently deputy chief of staff for policy, is a key architect of Trump's immigration crackdown and known for aggressive attacks on Democrats. Wiles moves to Trump's political operation after submitting her resignation Thursday. The appointment drew criticism from Democrats, with incoming House Speaker Hakeem Jeffries calling Miller a "dangerous xenophobe." Wiles was credited with bringing stability to Trump's second term.
