Harris Is Bringing Two Former Trump Officials As Her Guests to the ABC Debate

Vice President Kamala Harris will be bringing two people who know former President Donald Trump well to Tuesday’s presidential debate hosted by ABC News.

Politico reported on Tuesday that Harris will have Anthony Scaramucci and Olivia Troye by her side when she arrives in Philadelphia for her debate against Trump. Scaramucci famously served as Trump’s White House Communications Director for ten days; Troye served as a national security officer and an advisor to former Vice President Mike Pence. Both have become outspoken critics of Trump since leaving the White House.

According to Politico, the thinking behind bringing two former Trump officials was to troll the ex-President before he hit the debate stage:

The two are expected to warn of the dangers of a second Trump presidency and why they believe he shouldn’t return to office at a press availability at the debate site.

“Listen, don’t take it from us: Take it from the ones who know Donald Trump the best and who are telling the American people exactly how unfit Trump is to serve as president,” said Harris communications director Michael Tyler in a statement. “Now as Americans prepare to tune in for tonight’s debate, these former Trump staffers are warning that a second Donald Trump presidency would be far more dangerous and extreme than the first.”

The Harris campaign orchestrated a few moves to needle Trump leading up to the debate, including an ad that ran on Fox News that featured former President Barack Obama mocking Trump’s obsession with crowd sizes.
