President Trump picks Stephen Miller to replace Susie Wiles as White House Chief of Staff
Dick Brennan's report on Stephen Miller replacing Susie Wiles as White House chief of staff reached roughly 17,000 views within six hours, making it CBS New York's most-watched upload of the week.
The segment puts Trump's explanation alongside the political response to the change after Republican midterm losses. Trump praises both his departing chief of staff and her replacement; Pennsylvania representative-elect Chris Rabb interprets the appointment as a reaffirmation of Trump's political direction. Brennan also reports Robert Garcia's pledge that the House Oversight Committee will investigate Miller's tactics.
Washington was only part of a busy publishing week. Rob Flaks reported on security-camera footage from a Queens bakery, where the manager says more than $40,000 was stolen. Scott Padgett delivered a heavy-rain forecast, while Adi Guajardo covered a Bronx community gathering to remember a teenager killed while walking to school.
Those three local reports have the strongest daily viewing momentum among the channel's uploads right now, with the bakery story drawing the most views per day. The distinction matters: the White House report has the largest total among this week's releases, but neighborhood reporting and weather are supplying the clearest ongoing activity.
CBS New York added about 3.3 million views across the week, with subscribers unchanged. Daily viewing is slightly above its usual pace. Nearby in the local-news group, FOX 5 New York is also running modestly above its normal daily level, while CBS LA is below its own. For CBS New York, the week's attention spans a White House personnel change, a Queens business and the next heavy rainfall.
