Stephen Miller's White House promotion draws bipartisan backlash
President Donald Trump has appointed Stephen Miller as White House chief of staff, replacing Susie Wiles, prompting widespread condemnation from Democrats, liberals, and some Republicans who warn his promotion will worsen conditions. The move follows the GOP's loss of Congress in the midterm elections. Miller, who designed Trump's aggressive deportation campaign, was criticized by Republican Rep. Don Bacon for alienating Hispanic voters and costing the party seats in Texas and Arizona. House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries called Miller a "dangerous xenophobe," while other officials pledged investigations into his policies. MAGA supporters celebrated the appointment, with Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. praising Miller, and conservative commentator Gina Milan comparing the promotion to a sports comeback. Wiles announced Friday as her last day, calling her tenure "the honor of a lifetime."
