Trump names hardliner Stephen Miller as chief of staff
President Donald Trump has appointed Stephen Miller, a hardline immigration advisor, as his new chief of staff following the Republican Party's loss of congressional majorities in the midterm elections. Miller, previously deputy chief of staff, is known for his radical "America First" policies, including mass deportations and strict immigration limits. He has influenced controversial measures like family separations at the border and removal of non-Trump loyalists from government positions. The appointment signals Trump's commitment to his conservative MAGA base amid party debates over direction. Meanwhile, Vice President JD Vance and Secretary of State Marco Rubio are reportedly considering their political futures, with speculation about potential 2028 presidential bids.
