From The Hill: Olivia Troye, an ex-national security adviser to former Vice President Mike Pence, called Sunday on her former boss to endorse Vice President Harris’s presidential run, calling it the “right thing” to do.
Troye, who emerged as a vocal Republican critic of the Trump administration since leaving the White House in 2020, told MSNBC anchor Alex Witt it would be an “amazing dream” if Pence threw his support behind Harris, who officially became the presumptive Democratic presidential nominee last week.
“And if [Pence] out there listening right now, I encourage you to do the right thing,” Troye said Sunday.
“Again, you’ve shown tremendous courage in the past. You know what’s at stake more than anyone here and your voice can make an enormous difference for conservatives across the country,” she said.
“At the end of the day, this is about democracy, the ideals that the Republican Party has held in the past about individual liberties and freedoms. That’s what Kamala Harris is trying to do here. She’s trying to build that coalition so that we preserve those rights,” Troye claimed.

Troye declared in a social media post on Sunday, “As someone who served in the Trump White House, I witnessed the destruction & chaos firsthand. A second Trump term will bring more turmoil. As a lifelong Republican, I may not agree with Kamala Harris on everything, but I trust her to protect our freedoms, uphold the rule of law & provide steady leadership on the world stage. That’s why I’m voting for Kamala Harris. #RepublicansforHarris.”

Former Rep. Adam Zinzinger (Ill.), who voted to impeach former President Donald Trump and calls himself a “proud RINO”, jumped on board the “Republicans for Harris” train on Sunday.
“There is nothing “conservative” about Donald Trump. Conservatives believe in the Constitution, not a “man’s” ego,” he claimed, adding, “Endorsing American democracy and the future today, and leaving the past in the dust. I’m endorsing @KamalaHarris.”
