Stephen Miller pledges 'total devotion' as Trump's chief of staff
Stephen Miller, Donald Trump's controversial aide and architect of his immigration crackdown, has been appointed White House chief of staff, pledging "total devotion" to the president in his first public remarks since the move. Miller, who begins the role Monday, praised Trump at a Friday event, saying the president "saved America" and the Republican party. His appointment follows significant Republican losses in this week's midterm elections, including seven Senate seats and 42 House seats. Democrats and some Republicans have criticized the appointment, with one congressman calling it a "horrible decision" and another predicting Miller will alienate Hispanic voters. Trump has hinted at further team changes, though he expressed confidence in Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth.
