Trump eyes deals with Democrats as he hails Stephen Miller as 'MVP'
FreeGet stories like this compared, every morning at 7.
President Donald Trump announced on Friday that Stephen Miller will become the White House chief of staff, replacing Susie Wiles, who will move to the administration's political operation. The promotion of Miller, previously the deputy chief of staff and a prominent advisor on immigration, follows a midterm election cycle in which Democrats gained control of both the House and Senate. House Democratic Leader Hakeem Jeffries sharply criticized the appointment, calling Miller a "dangerous xenophobe" and stating his presence in government should be "eradicated like a malignant tumor." While some Democratic leaders signaled plans to launch investigations into Miller and the administration, President Trump expressed a belief that he could find common ground with the new Democratic majority on issues such as taxes and immigration.
