Trump Swaps Chief of Staff for Hardline Immigration Enforcer
After a crushing midterm loss, Trump appoints Stephen Miller, the architect of his strict immigration policy, signaling a renewed focus on border security.
Trump replaced White House chief of staff Susie Wiles with Stephen Miller, a move that came after what PBS News called a crushing midterm defeat.
PBS News describes Miller as the hardline architect of Trump's immigration agenda, and his appointment is seen as a doubling down on that agenda, especially after two years of mass detentions, deportations and armed agents in U.S. cities made immigration a political liability for Trump. Liz Landers asks, "What Trump picking Stephen Miller for chief of staff signals about his agenda."
CBS News contributor Marc Caputo and Republican strategist Marc Short joined The Takeout to discuss Miller's new role as chief of staff.
