Stephen Miller replaces Susie Wiles as Trump's chief of staff

President Donald Trump has replaced White House Chief of Staff Susie Wiles with Stephen Miller, elevating the hardline immigration adviser to the top staff position. The change took effect Friday, signaling a shift toward more aggressive political tactics. Miller, known for his strident anti-immigration views, has been a key architect of Trump's policies including the Muslim ban and mass deportation efforts. Critics, including House Democratic Leader Hakeem Jeffries, condemned the appointment, while supporters cited Miller's loyalty and experience navigating congressional battles. Wiles, who helped orchestrate Trump's political comeback after the Jan. 6, 2021, insurrection, departed after successfully battling breast cancer. The move comes as Democrats prepare to take control of both chambers of Congress in two months.
