Trump names Stephen Miller White House chief of staff, replacing Susie Wiles
President Donald Trump has announced that Stephen Miller will become White House chief of staff, succeeding Susie Wiles, who is leaving after Republicans lost both the House and the Senate. According to Fox News, Wiles served 21 months, making her Trump's longest-serving chief of staff across his two terms. The New York Times describes Miller as the architect of the mass deportation campaign and a public face of many of Trump's immigration policies.
Why it matters
Miller's selection, given his association with hardline immigration policy, suggests that issue will remain a top priority for the White House. The change follows the electoral losses, making it an indicator of the administration's approach in the coming period.
Background
