Trump appoints Stephen Miller as White House chief of staff after midterm defeat

letemps.ch (French) —

President Donald Trump announced Friday he is appointing Stephen Miller, a hardline immigration adviser, as White House chief of staff, replacing Susie Wiles following the Republican Party's defeat in the midterm elections. Miller, 41, is the main architect of the administration's aggressive deportation policy, which has alienated Latino voters who helped Trump win in 2024. Wiles, 69, the first woman in the role, will move to other non-government duties. Senate Democratic leader Chuck Schumer vowed to fight Miller's appointment, calling him the architect of "barbaric and inhumane" policies and saying Trump "learned nothing" from the historic defeat.
