Stephen Miller is a strong candidate to replace Mike Waltz as national security adviser under President Donald Trump. This comes after Waltz was nominated as the United Nations ambassador, according to a report from Axios.
Secretary of State Marco Rubio is temporarily handling Waltz’s responsibilities while Trump selects a permanent replacement for the national security adviser role.
Miller’s strong views on immigration are highlighted as a reason for his candidacy, with sources suggesting he is effective in policy roles and working with Rubio.
Some sources express doubt about whether the adviser position would suit Miller, citing concerns about it diverting focus from his immigration policy efforts.
