Trump Names Stephen Miller Chief of Staff

President Donald Trump named Deputy Chief of Staff Stephen Miller to replace Susie Wiles as White House chief of staff, with the transition set to begin November 9. Wiles will move to Trump’s political operation after Republicans’ sweeping midterm losses, as Democrats take control of Congress and prepare investigations and other challenges to his agenda. Miller, a longtime Trump adviser and architect of the administration’s hard-line immigration policies, drew condemnation from Democratic leaders, while allies praised his loyalty and organizational skills. Reporting said Miller urged Trump to wind down the Iran war while seeking the job, as some Republicans blamed the conflict for the election losses. Separately, a White House spokeswoman used the phrase “final solution” while discussing Trump’s Iran policy, a term associated with Nazi Germany’s genocide of European Jews.
