Ex-Pence aide will vote for Biden due to Trump's 'flat out disregard for human life'
A former advisor to Mike Pence and the White House coronavirus taskforce will vote for Joe Biden because of the Donald Trump’s “flat out disregard for human life” during the pandemic.
Olivia Troye, who left the Trump administration in August, told The Washington Post that the president’s main concern was the economy and reelection, and that she wouldn’t trust a Covid-19 vaccine that launches before the November vote.
She joins several former officials, or what the White House calls “disgruntled” ex-employees, to flip on the president to detail the dysfunctional inner workings of his administration’s first term.
“The president’s rhetoric and his own attacks against people in his administration trying to do the work, as well as the promulgation of false narratives and incorrect information of the virus have made this ongoing response a failure,” Ms Troye said in an interview with the Post.
