️🇺🇸 Axios: Stephen Miller plans to use his new role as White House chief of staff to win back young working-class and minority men who supported Donald Trump in 2024 but switched to Democrats in last week's midterm elections.
According to two people familiar with the administration's plans, Miller wants to revive the populist agenda that helped build Trump's 2024 coalition, while giving more prominence to policies he believes appeal to working-class voters worried about the economy.
The change comes amid voter frustration over high prices linked to Trump's tariffs, the economic impact of the war in Iran and concerns that artificial intelligence could threaten jobs. More than half of voters under 30 identified the economy and jobs as one of the nation's top three issues, according to a Tufts University study. Miller faces a significant obstacle: Democrats will take control of the House and Senate in January, leaving the administration without a Republican majority to advance his agenda.
