Trump names Stephen Miller chief of staff after Republicans lose Congress

hindustantimes.com —

President Donald Trump announced Friday he is replacing Susie Wiles as White House chief of staff with longtime aide Stephen Miller, days after Republicans lost control of the US Congress in the midterm elections. Trump praised Miller as a "great fighter" and "MVP every year," citing his loyalty since joining the 2016 campaign as a speechwriter. Miller, currently deputy chief of staff, is a key architect of the administration's hardline immigration policies. Wiles resigned Thursday night, with Trump saying he "wanted to make a change" despite her "great job." He expects "very little" further staffing changes, though Democrats will control both chambers next year.
