US EditionAxios: Stephen Miller Top Contender for Trump’s National Security Advisor
- President Donald Trump ousted Mike Waltz as national security adviser on Thursday and appointed Secretary of State Marco Rubio as interim replacement.
- Waltz's removal followed the Signalgate scandal, and Trump said he expects to fill the permanent role within about six months amid multiple potential candidates.
- Stephen Miller, Trump’s deputy chief of staff and immigration policy architect, emerged as a top contender due to his trusted status and close work with Rubio.
- Trump stated Miller 'sort of indirectly already has that job' and called him 'a very valued person in the administration' who is 'at the top of the totem pole' for the position.
- Rubio temporarily manages several key roles, raising concerns about sustainability, while Miller may decline the role if it distracts from his immigration focus and the adviser role will be downgraded.
