President of the United Statestrump Longtime confidant Miller will take over.white House Chief of Staff Although Miller was born in a liberal environment in California, he rose to prominence with his conservative stances and became a key driver of Trump’s immigration policy. He will now control the daily operations of the White House and be closer to the core of policy decision-making.
Donald Trump announced on the 6th that long-time White House staffer Stephen Miller will take over as White House Chief of Staff, replacing Susie Wills, who has served in this position since Trump returned to the White House.
Miller, 41, grew up in politically liberal Santa Monica, California. His mother came from a famousJewish Family, his father is a graduate of Stanford University, is a lawyer, and also has some influence in the real estate industry. However, after the real estate company run by his parents ran into trouble, the family also moved into a rental house.
The current affairs magazine “Vanity Fair” once described that although Miller has always liked to do shocking and provocative things, his family is not much different from other families in Santa Monica. The Los Angeles Times clearly stated that his family has supported the Democratic Party for many years.
It is said that when Miller was a child, he was very fond of “Star Trek” and he and his brother used to wear Captain Kirk uniforms. His junior high school friend Jason Islas recalled that Miller “loved Kirk’s masculine style, and I think he really considered that style a model for his own behavior.”
According to Los Angeles, Miller’s interest in politics was sparked by a subscription to Guns & Ammo magazine. He was then exposed to articles by National Rifle Association leader Wayne LaPierre, and these conservative views were something Miller had never heard of before.
Miller’s political views are inconsistent with the progressive and tolerant Santa Monica community, but he appears to enjoy them. When he was 16, he wrote an article in a local newspaper about the “evil political correctness” that had “covered” his high school and school district.
During high school, Miller also appeared frequently on conservative radio programs, protesting the use of Spanish-language broadcasts in schools and advocating the restoration of daily reading of the United States “Pledge of Allegiance.”
When Miller was a columnist for the student newspaper at Duke University, he also displayed a militant conservative style.
In 2006, three Duke University lacrosse players were accused of raping a black woman at an off-campus party, the Public Television Network (PBS) reported. Miller wrote an article at the time saying that “racial leftists” were demonizing the three white athletes. His comments attracted the attention of cable television networks and his fame quickly spread across the country. He later used this fame to move to Washington, D.C. at the age of 22. Done to go.
In 2007, Miller began her career in Washington as press secretary to Minnesota Republican Representative Michele Bachmann and later became press secretary to Representative John Shadegg.
In 2009, Miller served as press secretary for Alabama Senator Jeff Sessions and was later promoted to Sessions’ communications director. According to The Hill, Miller has pushed Sessions to take a more vocal and combative stance, particularly on immigration.
Privately, Miller is known in Washington political circles as a tough press staffer, often clashing with reporters and others in Washington.
In 2015, when Trump announced his bid for the presidency, Sessions became the first federal senator to express support for him, and later served as Attorney General during Trump’s first presidential term. However, Sessions eventually broke with Trump and Miller entered Trump’s inner circle.
Over the past 10 years, many important people have come and gone around Trump, including outgoing White House Chief of Staff Welles. But Miller remained loyal to Trump from the 2016 campaign through Trump’s two presidential terms.
