A DNC Trend Emerges: Republican Officials Backing Harris
A day after Donald Trump’s former White House press secretary urged Republicans to ditch the former president in favor of Kamala Harris, that trend continued Tuesday at the Democratic National Convention with former Trump White House counterterrorism adviser Olivia Troye and Georgia’s Republican former lieutenant governor, Geoff Duncan, telling members of the GOP that voting for Harris wouldn’t be “betraying” their party.
Troye, like Stephanie Grisham did the day prior, explained why she resigned from the Trump Administration—a move that was hard as a Republican, she said, but “as an American, it was the right one.”
“I saw how Donald Trump undermined the intelligence community, our military leaders and ultimately our democratic process. Now he is doing it again—lying and laying the groundwork to undermine this election,” said Troye, a member of the coalition of “Republicans for Harris.”
