Stephen Miller believes in almost limitless presidential power, calls the Democratic Party an extremist organization, and wants ruthless crackdowns on immigration and foreign adversaries. He is the new White House chief of staff and is unlike anyone who has held the job under Trump or any modern chief of staff. He is described as an immigration hardliner. It is not yet clear how his views will shape specific policy actions or affect the administration’s relationship with Congress and the public.

President Trump selected Stephen Miller to replace Susie Wiles as White House chief of staff after a dismal midterm performance for Republicans. Susie Wiles submitted her resignation on Thursday night after serving as Trump’s longest‑serving chief of staff. Lawmakers criticized the president for the replacement. The midterm loss was driven in part by outrage over ICE tactics. Reactions to the chief of staff change are coming from Capitol Hill. Miller is known for being tough on immigration. It is not yet clear how his leadership will reshape White House operations, affect immigration policies, or influence the administration’s broader political strategy.
