Trump Names Hardline Adviser Stephen Miller as Chief of Staff After Midterm Defeat

President Donald Trump appointed Stephen Miller, 41, as his new White House chief of staff on November 6, following the Republican Party's historic defeat in the midterm elections. Miller is known for his hardline immigration policies. Miller, a loyal Trump ally who served as a senior adviser in the first Trump administration, will assume the role on November 9. He replaces Susie Wiles, 69, who resigned after the election loss, though Trump praised her work while citing the need for change. Wiles' resignation marks the highest-profile departure since the midterms, with several Justice Department officials also stepping down. Democrats have criticized Miller's appointment, with some lawmakers pledging to investigate his past actions.
