Trump names Miller chief of staff after Republican midterm defeat

President Donald Trump appointed Stephen Miller as White House chief of staff, replacing Susie Wiles after the Republican Party's defeat in the midterm elections. Trump praised Wiles' efforts on his social media platform, confirming she will remain in his political circle. Miller, a longtime close aide, is a key architect of the administration's strict immigration policies. Wiles, described as a tough politician and close Trump advisor, was the first woman to hold this high-ranking position in U.S. history. Her departure follows the Republican Party's severe loss in Tuesday's midterm elections, with Miller, a trusted Trump assistant for years, stepping in as her successor. The leadership change signals a shift in the White House's operational approach, as Miller's hardline stance on immigration is expected to shape future policy directions. Wiles' continued involvement suggests ongoing influence within Trump's political network.
