Trump Elevates Miller After Midterm Rout

Miller Takes Command As Trump Faces A Hostile New Congress

Miller takes command after serving as deputy chief of staff for policy and homeland security adviser in Trump’s second administration, ABC News reported. He previously worked as a senior adviser and speechwriter during Trump’s first term and helped shape its immigration policies.

CBS described Miller as an architect of Trump’s immigration enforcement and deportation program. The promotion therefore puts an established policy driver, rather than an outsider, in the chief of staff’s office. The White House presented his experience and longstanding relationship with Trump as strengths.

Wiles Leaves After Election Defeat While Democrats Promise Tougher Scrutiny

Wiles leaves after leading Trump’s 2024 campaign and serving as chief of staff from the beginning of his second term. CBS and ABC reported that she submitted her resignation Thursday night, November 5, citing sources familiar with the events.

Accounts linking her resignation to the election losses rely on unnamed sources, not a public explanation from Wiles establishing that motive. CBS also reported uncertainty about whether her deputies would remain. Incoming Democratic oversight leader Robert Garcia promised continued investigation of Miller, while Senate Democratic leader Chuck Schumer condemned the appointment. Their responses signal opposition; they do not establish that any investigation has reached findings.
