Former Pence Adviser Urges Him to Support Harris
Olivia Troye, a former national security adviser to ex-Vice President Mike Pence, has publicly urged Pence to endorse Vice President Kamala Harris’s presidential campaign. Troye, who has been a vocal critic of the Trump administration since her departure in 2020, spoke on MSNBC, calling on Pence to support Harris as the right thing to do.
- Troye’s Call to Action: On MSNBC, Troye expressed her desire for Pence to endorse Harris, describing it as an “amazing dream” and encouraging him to show the same courage he has demonstrated in the past.
- Republicans for Harris: Troye is part of the newly formed “Republicans for Harris” group, which includes over 25 Republicans supporting Harris. The group aims to rally GOP voices to back Harris, emphasizing the importance of preserving democracy and individual liberties.
- Campaign Activities: The “Republicans for Harris” group is planning kickoff events in key battleground states such as Arizona, North Carolina, and Pennsylvania to promote their cause.
- Pence’s Position: Pence, who suspended his own presidential campaign last year, has distanced himself from former President Trump, particularly after the events of January 6, 2021. He has been vocal about his inability to reject the 2020 election results despite pressure from Trump.
- Support for Harris: President Biden endorsed Harris, consolidating Democratic support and major fundraising efforts behind her. While Pence has acknowledged Biden’s decision as appropriate, he has not explicitly commented on Harris’s candidacy.
Troye’s appeal highlights the ongoing efforts to bridge partisan divides and focus on safeguarding democratic values in the upcoming election.
