Trump names Stephen Miller chief of staff after midterm losses

President Donald Trump replaced Susie Wiles with Stephen Miller as White House chief of staff on Friday, days after Republicans lost control of Congress in the midterm elections. Miller is a key architect of the administration's hard-line immigration policies. Wiles, the first woman to hold the post and Trump's longest-serving chief of staff, announced her departure on social media, calling the role "the honor of a lifetime." Trump praised both officials but said "we've got to make moves sometimes." Democrats will hold at least 54 Senate seats next year. Democratic lawmakers criticized the appointment, with Rep. Adriano Espaillat calling it "putting lipstick on a pig" and Rep. Robert Garcia warning Miller to "lawyer up" amid ongoing Oversight Committee investigations. Miller, 41, has served as deputy chief of staff and previously worked for former Sen. Jeff Sessions.
