Stephen Miller, reactionary ideologue and white supremacist, promoted head of Trump administration

Following the midterm elections, Donald Trump appointed Stephen Miller as his new chief of staff, signaling a shift towards a more extreme inner circle. Trump praised Miller's political acumen and management skills, although he provided little rationale for the change. This move reflects Trump's strategy to consolidate power and prepare for challenges from a Democratic Congress. Steve Bannon, a former adviser, endorsed the decision, viewing it as a defiance against the Republican establishment and a commitment to MAGA principles.
