Trump Names Stephen Miller Chief of Staff After Midterm Losses

lesechos.fr (French) —

President Donald Trump has appointed Stephen Miller, the architect of his anti-immigration policies, as White House chief of staff following the Democratic wave in the midterm elections. The promotion signals Trump's intent to avoid conciliation in his final two years. Miller, a radical and ultra-loyal ideologue, has been with Trump since January 2016 and remained loyal after the Capitol assault. He helped craft "Project 2025," which laid groundwork for aggressive federal administrative control. The controversial appointment promises friction in Washington, as Republicans face a historic rejection at the polls. Trump's choice underscores his commitment to hardline policies despite the electoral setback.
