Miller pledges 'absolute loyalty' to Trump... Jeffries demands dismissal

Stephen Miller, named White House chief of staff, pledged "absolute loyalty" to President Donald Trump at a Mar-a-Lago event on the 6th, saying he would back the president "with his whole soul" and work to protect "this great republic." Miller, who also posted on X that the mission is clearer than ever, credited Trump with defending the U.S. military, economy and borders, and Trump shared video of the speech on social media. The declaration drew criticism from Democratic figures calling for Miller's removal. The episode matters because it signals tight alignment between the incoming chief of staff and the president as the administration sets its policy agenda. What to watch next is whether Democratic pressure on Miller's removal gains traction and how the loyalty pledge shapes staffing and policy discipline inside the White House.
