Many of Alabama’s Republican political leaders are showing their support for Stephen Miller, President Donald Trump’s choice to be the next White House Chief of Staff.
Trump made the announcement Friday on Truth Social, saying he has done an “outstanding job” as Deputy Chief of Staff.
Known for his stalwart support of the president’s immigration policies, Miller has been a part of Trump’s team since his election in 2016.
Miller also has a history with the Yellowhammer State, formerly working as an aide for former U.S. Sen. Jeff Sessions.
“Stephen Miller is a GREAT AMERICAN,” Governor-elect Tommy Tuberville said in response to the decision. “He has been a steadfast, conservative warrior in the fight against socialism since day one, and I am confident he will be a great White House Chief of Staff.”
