Katie Miller, a former Mike Pence press secretary who married the controversial aide Stephen Miller during Donald Trump’s first term, has been announced as the latest addition to Elon Musk’s Department of Government Efficiency. Trump revealed the move in a post to Truth Social on Sunday night, but stopped short of saying what exact role the 33-year-old will have in DOGE. “She has been a loyal supporter of mine for many years, and will bring her professional experience to Government Efficiency,” he wrote. “Katie is a deeply experienced communications professional respected by all.” The pick keeps Trump’s trend of appointing Floridians to roles in his administration going, as Miller is a native of Fort Lauderdale. She married Stephen, Trump’s soon-to-be deputy chief of policy, in 2020—with Trump in attendance. Like her husband, she’s considered to be far-right—even by MAGA standards—and has been at the center of controversy over the years, like the time she allegedly trashed hundreds of student newspapers at the University of Florida after it ran an article about the school’s football coach endorsing an opposing student government candidate.
