Trump names Stephen Miller chief of staff after midterm losses
President Trump announced that Stephen Miller will replace Susie Wiles as White House chief of staff. Wiles will move to a political role. Miller is a longtime adviser known for his hardline immigration policies. Democrats criticized the choice, and Senator Chuck Schumer said Trump learned nothing from the election. Marjorie Taylor Greene warned the shake-up would hurt Republicans in 2028.
Why it matters
The top White House staff job shapes how the administration deals with a Congress now controlled by Democrats.
Background
Democrats won both houses of Congress in Tuesday's midterm elections. Miller has been a close Trump aide since 2016. Wiles was the first woman to hold the chief of staff job.
