Trump administration reshuffles staff as Democrats prepare to govern, Senate banking chair-to-be Warren discusses bipartisan agenda

President Donald Trump announced Stephen Miller as his new chief of staff, succeeding Susie Wiles, amid a post-midterm environment in which Republicans lost a majority in the House. Former White House senior adviser Calley Means, who helped launch the Make America Healthy Again (MAHA) initiative, said his remarks were intended to prompt Wiles’ removal and accused senior aides of prioritising special-interest donors over the administration’s health agenda.

Senate Banking Committee chair-elect Elizabeth Warren told host Margaret Brennan that Democrats plan to pursue a series of bills on credit-card interest rates, housing, price-gouging, rural hospital support and corporate accountability. Warren said the party will seek bipartisan cooperation where possible, citing a bipartisan housing bill that already became law without a presidential signature.

Republican Representative French Hill, chairman of the Financial Services Committee, said the administration’s new chief of staff could help advance immigration reform, a priority for both parties. Hill noted that inflation remains a concern for voters despite recent declines.

Democratic Congresswoman-elect Nancy Lacore, a retired Navy vice admiral, highlighted her intent to push for an end to the war in Iran, repeal tariffs, and strengthen ethics rules on stock trading and dark-money influence.

The interview also touched on pending investigations into big-tech and pharmaceutical companies, as well as potential impeachment proceedings against Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, though Hill said impeachment would depend on evidence of misconduct rather than policy disagreements.

The White House has not responded to requests for comment on the staff changes or the allegations raised by Means.
