What Happened: In a post on X on Friday, Scaramucci, Scaramucci, who will be a headline speaker at Benzinga's upcoming Future of Digital Assets event on Nov. 19, stated, “Electing VP Harris and defeating Trump is not about destroying the Republican party; it’s about saving it.”

Scaramucci, who briefly served as the White House Director of Communications under Trump, has been a vocal critic of the former president. His latest comments suggest a desire for a shift in the party’s direction, away from Trump’s influence.
Why It Matters: Scaramucci’s comments reflect a growing divide within the Republican Party, with some members advocating for a return to traditional conservative values, while others continue to support Trump’s brand of politics.
His call for the election of Vice President Harris, a Democrat, indicates a willingness to cross party lines in order to achieve this goal.
The impact of these internal conflicts on the future direction of the GOP remains to be seen.
However, Scaramucci’s comments highlight the ongoing debate within the party about its core values and political identity.
