According to multiple sources, President-elect Donald Trump is expected to name Stephen Miller as the White House deputy chief of staff for policy.
Miller served during the first Trump Administration.
“This is another fantastic pick by the president,” Vice President-elect JD Vance posted on x.com, an apparent confirmation of Miller’s rumored appointment, first reported by CNN.
“You can have your country back, you can have your future back, you can have your state back,” Miller said during one of Trump’s final rallies in Salem, Va.
“You can look your children in the eye and say, ‘We did it, we saved America, we saved this republic. We didn’t let it get stolen from us,'” Miller added.
Trump also announced his selection for head of the EPA on Monday — and it’s former New York Rep and gubernatorial candidate Lee Zeldin.
“I am deeply honored to have been asked by President Trump to serve in his Cabinet. As EPA Administrator, we will restore American energy dominance, revitalize our auto industry to bring back American jobs, make the United States the global leader of Artificial Intelligence advancement, and slash the red tape holding back American workers from upward economic mobility,” Zeldin said in a statement to The Post.
“We will accomplish all this while conserving our environment, protecting access to clean air and water, and keeping the American people healthy. I look forward to contributing to President Trump’s agenda to build a more prosperous future for our nation.”
Trump confirmed the appointment in his own statement.
“Lee, with a very strong legal background, has been a true fighter for America First policies. He will ensure fair and swift deregulatory decisions that will be enacted in a way to unleash the power of American businesses, while at the same time maintaining the highest environmental standards, including the cleanest air and water on the planet,” Trump said.
“He will set new standards on environmental review and maintenance that will allow the United States to grow in a healthy and well-structured way.”
Trump added: “I have known Lee Zeldin for a long time, and have watched him handle, brilliantly, some extremely difficult and complex situations. I am very proud to have him in the Trump Administration, where he will quickly prove to be a great contributor!”
