Summary
Stephen Miller will replace Susie Wiles as White House chief of staff, a move that triggered immediate backlash from House Republicans still reeling from Tuesday’s midterm losses.
Multiple GOP lawmakers said Miller’s hardline immigration push alienated Latino voters and businesses, with Don Bacon arguing he turned a 2-to-1 favorable issue into a 2-to-1 unfavorable one.
Democrats are on pace to win more than 250 House seats and at least 54 Senate seats, taking both chambers as voter anger over Trump’s Iran war, tariffs and immigration handling hit Republicans.
Trump defended the promotion by calling Miller one of his most trusted advisers, while the White House and allies including JD Vance and Andy Harris praised his role on border, crime and deregulation.
