Stephen Miller's appointment could give JD Vance a 2028 opening, ex-official says

Former Trump administration official Miles Taylor said Stephen Miller's appointment as White House chief of staff could give Vice President JD Vance a pretext to distance himself from the administration ahead of a potential 2028 presidential run. Taylor told MSNBC that Vance needs a reason to claim he didn't endorse all administration actions, arguing his attempts to differentiate on Iran policy won't succeed since he was central to those negotiations. Taylor suggested a Miller-driven constitutional crisis could provide that opportunity. Taylor, who served at the Department of Homeland Security, warned that Miller's proposals during the first administration included actions lawyers deemed unconstitutional, and his new position gives him direct access to the Oval Office. He predicted a "rockier two years" ahead for the administration.
