President Donald Trump says Stephen Miller is replacing Susie Wiles as White House chief of staff, mere days after Republicans lost control of Congress in the midterm elections. Miller is a key architect of the administration’s hard-line immigration policies. Wiles was Trump’s longest-serving White House chief of staff and his longtime adviser. A handful of remaining Senate and House races still to be called by The Associated Press will determine the strength of Democrats’ majority in Congress.
