Trump Names Hardline Adviser Stephen Miller as White House Chief of Staff

President Trump appointed Stephen Miller, a hardline immigration adviser, as his new White House chief of staff on November 6, replacing Susie Wiles, signaling a combative stance against Democrats following the midterm elections. Miller, 41, previously served as deputy chief of staff and homeland security adviser, and is known for architecting Trump's mass deportation policies. Trump described him as "one of my most trusted advisers," while Democrats, including incoming Senate leader Chuck Schumer, vowed to fight the appointment. Wiles, who resigned after two years, was reportedly criticized by Trump for insufficient action on leaking investigations and prosecuting political opponents. Her departure marks the first high-level exit after the Republican election loss.
