Where the coverage differs
Outlets we list as left emphasized Miller's record on immigration and the criticism the choice drew from Democrats, and they tied the move to Trump's response after the midterm losses. Outlets we list as center focused on the personnel change itself: Miller taking over from Wiles, and the White House preparing to work with a Democratic Congress. Outlets we list as right described the move as a shift in how the White House plans to govern without congressional majorities, and as the start of a sharper conflict with Democrats.
