Friday on the News Hour, Trump picks a new chief of staff, immigration hardliner Stephen Miller, in the wake of the Democrats’ landslide election. The post-election economy is bolstered by a better-than-expected jobs report, but fears over an AI bubble still weigh on Wall Street. Plus, Sen.-elect Adam Hamilton and Gov.-elect Keisha Lance Bottoms reflect on their historic victories.
