Trump Names Stephen Miller White House Chief of Staff 3 Days After GOP Midterm Rout

Summary
Stephen Miller will take over as White House chief of staff on Monday, replacing Susie Wiles in a major West Wing shake-up announced three days after Republicans’ heavy midterm losses.
Miller, a Trump aide since 2015 and the architect of the administration’s immigration crackdown, has recently expanded his reach across domestic policy and pushed an expansive view of executive power.
The promotion lands after Democrats flipped Texas and after CNN voter data showed Latino voters there backed Democrats 65%, with 68% saying Trump’s immigration actions had gone too far.
Wiles, Trump’s 2024 campaign manager and the first woman to serve as chief of staff, is moving to his political operation as Washington heads into a lame-duck session with fewer than 25 days in session.
