Trump says making adviser Stephen Miller White House chief of staff

Trump made the announcement on his Truth Social account, stating that Miller is 'one of my most trusted advisors'.

Wiles, credited with orchestrating Trump's 2024 election comeback, said serving as chief of staff was 'the honour of a lifetime'.

I’m so proud to have been a part of what we’ve accomplished together, from securing our border and cutting taxes to strengthening our economy and putting America First.

Policy focus

Miller has been a key architect of the president's hardline border and deportation policies.

His appointment largely represents a doubling down on these controversial policies following the midterm elections.

Democrats are expected to launch investigations into Miller when they take control of Congress in January.

Staff shake-up

Trump was widely expected to shake up his staff after the midterm drubbing, which saw Democrats gain seven Senate seats and 253 House seats.

Despite the vote largely being seen as a referendum on Trump, the president's team remains intact at the top.

Miller has not yet commented on the election results, but on election day he urged supporters to vote.

Send a message to the corrupt media, corrupt Democrats and corrupt left-wing politicians who want to steal your future and destroy the inheritance of your children.
