President Donald Trump said he was tapping longtime aide Stephen Miller as his new chief of staff and that Susie Wiles is moving to his political operation, shaking up his White House team days after a devastating midterm result. The move comes after rival Democrats dominated Tuesday’s midterm elections, handily winning control of both chambers of Congress. Elevating Miller, the architect of the administration’s hard-line immigration agenda and an advocate of aggressive administrative actions, is a signal the president is unlikely to moderate his policies or seek compromises with the new legislature despite an election that offered a sharp rebuke to his second term.

Also this weekend, Seattle’s return to the NBA isn’t a slam dunk yet, as some owners have raised concerns about the Emerald City. Owners worry that adding a Seattle team might not yield the desired financial return, with the potential payout from Vegas exceeding expectations. The franchise fee for Vegas is expected to reach $10 billion, while Seattle is expected to fetch owners roughly $6 billion to $6.5 billion.

On today's show, Bloomberg This Weekend hosts David Gura, Christina Ruffini, and Lisa Mateo speak with:

- Leslie Shedd, Rising Communications President, and John McCarthy, Principal at Causeway Strategy Group, on how both parties are recalibrating after Democrats' sweeping midterm victories.

- Ryan Gallagher, Bloomberg News Investigative Reporter, on the everyday apps that are collecting location data and selling it to law enforcement agencies.

- Randall Williams, Bloomberg News Senior Sports Reporter, on the latest in the NBA's potential expansion to Seattle and Las Vegas, and the possibility of an MLB strike.

Plus, David, Christina, and Lisa discuss the stories you might have missed this week on BTW.

For more conversations like this, watch and listen to Bloomberg This Weekend live on Saturdays and Sundays from 7AM-10AM ET. Watch on Bloomberg Television, listen on Bloomberg Radio and stream the show live on the Bloomberg Business app and Bloomberg.com/video.
