Washington, DC, November 7 (ANI): Newly appointed White House Chief of Staff Stephen Miller delivered a glowing address at Mar-a-Lago on Friday evening, recalling the early days of Donald Trump’s political career and pledging absolute loyalty to the president.
Miller’s appointment as chief of staff, replacing Susie Wiles, was announced Friday. He addressed attendees at the Conservative Political Action Conference’s Circle Retreat and Gala, hosted at the president’s Florida estate over the weekend.
The high-profile personnel change followed the midterm elections, in which Republicans suffered significant setbacks as voters secured Democratic majorities in both chambers of Congress ahead of January.
According to video footage circulating on X, Trump introduced Miller to the assembled attendees, describing him as “a very hot commodity” before handing him the microphone.
Miller reaffirmed his longstanding allegiance to the president.
“It was the privilege of a lifetime to join President Trump all the way back in 2015 when he came down that golden escalator. And let me tell you, if it wasn’t for President Trump, the United States of America would not exist right now. This man saved America. He saved our military from collapse. He saved our economy from destruction. He saved our border from annihilation. And he saved our country from threats at home and abroad, which would have been the end of the American dream forever,” Miller said.
“This man took a bullet for us. He faced down life in prison for us. He saved the Republican Party from the ash heap of history and has made it stronger, more popular and more resilient than ever before,” he added, despite the election results pointing to a shifting political landscape.
“We need to stand with the man who has stood with us and this country with every fiber of his being. It is the honor of my life to be President Trump’s chief of staff, and I swear to you, and I pledge to you, Mr. President, my absolute loyalty, my unwavering commitment and my total devotion to your success and the success of this country,” he said.
The surprise appointment drew reactions across political circles, with Democratic figures immediately criticizing the decision and describing it as a renewed commitment to positions they said voters had recently rejected at the ballot box. (ANI)
