Stephen Miller's promotion will fail 'catastrophically,' ex-Trump official says

Former Department of Homeland Security Chief of Staff Miles Taylor said Monday that Stephen Miller's promotion to White House chief of staff will fail "catastrophically" due to his tendency to overreach, potentially sinking President Donald Trump's post-midterm agenda. Taylor, who worked with Miller in Trump's first term, argued Miller's extreme instincts will create national chaos that infuriates Americans, forcing Trump onto the defensive. Miller previously drove policies like the 2017 travel ban and family separation, which were reversed amid court defeats and public backlash. The promotion, announced last week, replaces Susie Wiles and has sparked criticism from those accusing Miller of harboring white nationalist views. Taylor called the appointment "good news for the political opposition," noting no one remains to slow Miller down.
