Stephen Miller was named White House chief of staff last week, replacing Susie Wiles, according to Axios. Axios reported that Miller plans to use the position to pursue a populist agenda focused on working-class voters after last week’s midterm elections.
Two people familiar with the administration’s plans told Axios that Miller wants to regain support among young and minority men who backed President Trump in 2024 but moved toward Democrats in the midterms. The Daily Beast reported that current and former Justice Department officials said some officials were seeking to leave the administration following Republicans’ midterm losses and Miller’s promotion. Neither report detailed what policy actions Miller would take in the new role.
