Trump appointed Stephen Miller as White House chief of staff after weeks of lobbying by his wife, Katie Miller.
She urged Trump allies, including Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent and people close to Vice President JD Vance, to support her husband as a replacement for Susie Wiles.
Trump also considered several other candidates, including Steve Witkoff and Kevin McCarthy.
