## Summary

Donald Trump has appointed Stephen Miller as his chief of staff, with the change due to take effect on Monday. Miller’s first speech after the announcement pledged “absolute loyalty” and total commitment to Trump, signalling a prominent role for an adviser associated with the administration’s hard-line immigration agenda.

At a Mar-a-Lago gathering, Miller praised Trump’s record and referred to the assassination attempts and legal cases he faced, then urged Republicans to stand by him after Democrats’ gains in the midterms. Susie Wiles is moving to Trump’s political operation. Cabinet members, including Robert F Kennedy Jr, Pete Hegseth and JD Vance, welcomed Miller’s promotion, while critics including Gavin Newsom and Krystal Ball condemned it as a sign Trump would not moderate his approach.
