Trump concedes deportation policy may have cost Republicans midterms

President Donald Trump said in his first post-midterm interview that his administration's deportation policy "might have been too tough" and contributed to Republican losses, while expressing openness to an immigration deal with Democrats. Trump told CBS's "60 Minutes" he could work with the new Democratic majority on immigration, suggesting a deal allowing some undocumented immigrants to stay if they are "good people" working and paying taxes, though he offered no specifics. Shortly after the interview, Trump named Stephen Miller, architect of his hard-line immigration agenda, as chief of staff, drawing criticism from Democrats. He also hinted at staying neutral in the 2028 Republican race and dismissed questions about his wealth.
