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

Stephen Miller, newly appointed White House chief of staff, pledged "absolute loyalty" and "unwavering commitment" to President Trump in his first speech Friday night at Mar-a-Lago, hours after replacing Susie Wiles. Miller, 41, a longtime Trump aide since 2015, praised the president as having "saved America" and the Republican Party, vowing total devotion to Trump's success. His appointment follows a Democratic midterm wave that cost Republicans control of Congress. Trump elevated Miller, known for designing his immigration crackdown, as he faces a new Democratic House and Senate. Elected Democrats have pledged to confront his policies on immigration, the Iran war, and tariffs, and to probe his team.
