Scaramucci, Troye Join Team Harris, Ready To Call Out Trump At Debate

Vice President Kamala Harris‘s campaign announced that it will be featuring former officials from ex-President Donald Trump‘s administration as surrogates in the upcoming debate on Tuesday.

What Happened: The Harris campaign plans to have Anthony Scaramucci, the former White House communications director, and Olivia Troye, the former national security adviser to ex-Vice President Mike Pence, as surrogates for the debate, reported The Hill.

The debate is scheduled for Tuesday night in Philadelphia.

The two ex-officials will be speaking out against Trump and in favor of Harris at a press event before the debate. The campaign’s communication director, Michael Tyler, emphasized the potential dangers of a second Trump presidency.

Scaramucci, who has been an outspoken critic of Trump, recently warned that Trump is “coming to grips” with the possibility of not being re-elected, and his demeanor is “growing darker” as a result, according to The Hill.

Troye, who spoke at the Democratic National Convention in Chicago, was also part of the launch of “Republicans for Harris,” which garnered over 25 GOP endorsements. Notably, former Vice President Dick Cheney and former Rep. Liz Cheney (R-Wyo.) have both announced their support for Harris.

The Harris campaign has also released an ad featuring quotes from ex-officials, warning against a second Trump presidency. The ad is set to run on Fox News and in Trump’s hometown of West Palm Beach, Florida, as well as in Philadelphia.

Why It Matters: The inclusion of ex-Trump officials as surrogates for the Harris campaign is an interesting development, given the recent advice provided by Scaramucci.

In a podcast, Scaramucci suggested that Harris’ campaign was lacking a confrontational element, which the American public desires. It seems that the Harris campaign has taken this advice to heart by including him as a surrogate to add a confrontational element to the debate.
