Loyalty matters most in race to become Trump’s next national security adviser

The race for Donald Trump’s next national security advisor is heating up, with two figures—Marco Rubio and Stephen Miller—who bring vastly different backgrounds to the table. Rubio, a former rival trying to align with Trump’s “Maga” faction, sees himself as already handling dual roles, while Miller, a steadfast Trump enforcer on immigration and foreign policy, has proven his leadership skills within the administration. However, concerns persist about whether Rubio can juggle his role as secretary of state alongside his nascent national security adviser duties, given the long-standing challenges of balancing diplomacy with the demands of being a close Trump ally.
