Raw Story, The Independent and The Daily Beast report that Katie Miller, wife of White House Deputy Chief of Staff Stephen Miller, said on CBS News on Tuesday night that she did not vote in the midterm elections. She cited concern for her safety, saying voting in Virginia would expose her home address. The outlets say the Millers have lived in military housing in Washington, D.C., since September 2025. Miller also told CBS that busy mothers were too occupied to vote, as the outlets report Democrats took control of the House and Senate.
