Deputy Chief of Staff for Policy and Homeland Security Advisor Stephen Miller said President Donald Trump would emphasize that Democrats failed to secure any of their priorities during the recent government funding standoff.
Miller made the remarks during an appearance on Fox News, arguing that Democratic leaders were unable to persuade the public to support a shutdown tied to their policy goals.
“Well, I think that’s a very it’s a very safe bet, Sean,” Miller said when asked what to expect from the president.
“I also think that tonight, President Trump’s going to be very clear the Democrats got nothing. Sean, they got nothing. Chuck Schumer went to the wall and lost. Hakeem Jeffries went to the wall and lost.”
Miller said Democrats could not make the case that the government should close in order to advance their preferred programs.
“Because the end of the day, they could not convince Americans that we should shut down the government to fund their pet programs, to fund free benefits for illegal aliens, to fund health care for people who shouldn’t even be in this country,” he said.
He added that the political shift inside the Democratic Party has made it impossible for moderates to remain.

“What’s terrifying though Sean to keep hitting on this theme, is that the moderates have been driven out of the Democrat Party. Manchin is gone, cinema is gone, and everyone in that party understands that if they don’t toe the line with the leftist they will be driven out too,” Miller said.
Miller argued that the departure of lawmakers like Sen. Joe Manchin and former Sen. Kyrsten Sinema reflected a broader transformation.
According to him, the party no longer includes a centrist faction. “So we as a country, we don’t have a mainstream Democrat party. We don’t have a moderate Democrat party,” he said.
He described the remaining Democratic coalition in blunt terms.
“We have a party of crazies and lunatics and radical leftists and open borders nut jobs, that’s bad for America. It’s bad for the American people. It’s bad for the world,” Miller said.

Miller’s comments came as both chambers of Congress moved toward final passage of legislation to reopen the government.
Democratic leaders had sought to tie funding negotiations to a series of policy goals, but the final agreement did not include the measures they had sought.
