Stephen Miller pledges 'absolute loyalty' to Trump as White House chief of staff

Stephen Miller, newly appointed White House chief of staff, pledged unconditional loyalty to President Donald Trump in his first public address since taking office, citing personal risks he claims to have faced defending him. Miller, who has worked with Trump since 2015, credited the president with saving the military, economy, and border security, and said Trump revived the Republican Party. He called protecting America from threats a key achievement and urged support for the president. Miller, a leading MAGA ideologue, replaced Susie Wiles after her dismissal on Friday, following Republican losses in midterm elections. The move has angered Democratic leaders over what they see as a more extreme direction.
