Trump replaces chief of staff with immigration hardliner days after election defeat

📡 Financial Times · 1 min read ·
President Donald Trump has named immigration hardliner Stephen Miller as his new chief of staff, replacing Susie Wiles. The decision comes just days after the Republican Party suffered a resounding defeat in the midterm elections. Miller is known for his strict stance on immigration. He has long pushed for tougher border policies and tighter limits on legal immigration. The shake-up signals a sharp shift in the White House's direction. Wiles had held the chief of staff role until her departure. Her exit followed the party's heavy losses at the polls. The appointment places one of Trump's most controversial advisers at the center of his administration. Miller's new role gives him broad control over the president's staff and daily agenda.
