Stephen Miller's potential Chief of Staff role sparks concern

Former White House Deputy Press Secretary Sarah Matthews has expressed concern regarding reports that Stephen Miller could replace Susie Wiles as Chief of Staff. Matthews described the prospect of Miller taking the role as “terrifying,” citing his significant influence over immigration and domestic policies.

While President Donald Trump has publicly dismissed reports of Wiles’ departure as “TOTAL FAKE NEWS” and insisted she will remain in her position for a long time, speculation persists. Reports suggest Trump has privately discussed potential replacements, including Miller, Bill Pulte, Lee Zeldin, and former House Speaker Kevin McCarthy.

Matthews, who served during Trump’s first term, noted that Miller has been a central figure in developing the administration’s hard-line immigration agenda, including mass deportation efforts. The speculation arrives amid reports of internal competition for influence and administrative turmoil within the White House.
