Stephen Miller is expected to be named Trump's deputy chief of staff for policy

President-elect Donald Trump is expected to name Stephen Miller as his deputy chief of staff for policy at the White House, a source with knowledge of the transition team's plans said Monday.

While Trump has yet to make his choice public, Vice President-elect JD Vance appeared to confirm the news in a post on X while responding to CNN's report on Miller's selection for the role.

“This is another fantastic presidential choice. Congratulations @StephenM!” said Vance.

Miller, a staunch hardliner on immigration policy, worked in the White House during Trump's first term, where he served as both a speechwriter and senior adviser to the president.

Since leaving the White House, he has led the group America First Legal, which he co-founded with former Trump chief of staff Mark Meadows.
