A new digital ad from Vice President Kamala Harris’ campaign features two former officials who served in Donald Trump’s administration denouncing the Republican nominee for politicizing natural disasters while he was in office.
Olivia Troye, who was an aide to former Vice President Mike Pence, and Kevin Carroll, a Trump administration Homeland Security official, claim in the ad that Trump wanted to withhold disaster relief funds from Democratic states.
“Never in a million years did I ever think that I’d be working in the White House with a president that didn’t care about the American people,” Troye says in the ad. “He would suggest not giving disaster relief to states that hadn’t voted for him,” Carroll claims.
Troye recalled that “one time, after a wildfire in California, he wouldn’t send relief because it was a Democratic state. So we went as far as looking up how many votes he got in those impacted areas to show him: These are people who voted for you.”

Take it from those who know him best: If Donald Trump is reelected, he will fill the White House with loyalists—and there will be no one to stop his worst instincts.
