Stutzman Urges Trump to Fire Stephen Miller After GOP Midterm Losses

Summary
Rep. Marlin Stutzman said Trump should “fire people” after Republicans were “beat badly” in last week’s midterms, singling out newly elevated chief of staff Stephen Miller.
Stutzman called replacing Susie Wiles with Miller a “bad mistake,” arguing Miller’s tone and immigration approach are unpopular in the Midwest and fail to offer a better solution.
The criticism marked a rare public rebuke from a House Republican as the party reels from Democrats’ sweeping gains and searches for accountability after Tuesday’s losses.
Miller’s promotion on Friday had already drawn sharp Democratic attacks and concern from industries that rely on immigrant labor, widening the backlash to Trump’s post-election staffing move.
