Harry Enten puts two developments side by side: Latino voters moving toward Democrats, and Donald Trump promoting Stephen Miller to White House chief of staff. His response is blunt: "Gosh, how tone-deaf is this White House?"

CNN's compilation, posted today, has drawn about 122,000 views in its first few hours. Beyond the appointment itself, it examines whether Trump's choice answers the electoral message that Enten and the program's guests see in Republicans' midterm losses.

Enten points to Democratic gains in places including Starr County, Texas, and Cicero, Illinois, comparing the presidential vote with the Senate results. Separately, he presents polling showing a 24-point swing toward Democrats in whom Latino voters trust more on immigration. He argues that elevating Miller, a central figure in Trump's deportation policy, runs against that shift.

The criticism isn't confined to Democrats. Indiana Republican Rep. Marlin Stutzman says Miller should be fired and calls for a different tone on immigration. Later, former George W. Bush spokesperson Pete Seat also questions whether the White House has heard voters' message.

The compilation then moves from election interpretation to the practical problem of governing with a Democratic Congress. Pamela Brown's panel considers whether Miller can negotiate across party lines, while House Democratic Leader Hakeem Jeffries says there will be no opportunity to work with him.

CNN closes by examining possible investigations under incoming House Oversight Committee chair Robert Garcia, turning the discussion from who runs the White House to how Congress could scrutinize it.
