Former Trump aide Olivia Troye launches Democratic bid in Virginia

Olivia Troye, a former Pence-era aide who later became a vocal Trump critic, announced a Democratic run for Virginia's 7th Congressional District, pitching herself as the candidate best positioned to challenge Trump and his policies. The launch coincides with Virginia voters weighing a ballot measure to redraw congressional lines amid mid-decade redistricting, a move that could shift districts blue and prompt Rep. Eugene Vindman to seek the 1st District if the map changes pass.

"Trump's Influence on the GOP: A Former Aide's Urgent Plea and RNC Takeover"

Former Trump administration aide Olivia Troye urged Republicans to stop donating to the GOP, criticizing the Republican National Committee (RNC) for becoming a "Trump legal defense fund." This comes as Donald Trump faces legal troubles, including a recent $355 million fine in a New York civil fraud case and a separate $83.3 million judgment in a defamation case. Ronna McDaniel stepped down as RNC chairwoman, and Trump endorsed his daughter-in-law Lara Trump for the role, sparking concerns that RNC funds will go towards Trump's legal expenses. Troye and others have warned Republicans to consider where their donations are going, with concerns that the RNC is becoming solely focused on supporting Trump.

Troye noted that Trump never spoke negatively about Haley in public, and former White House press secretary Stephanie Grisham agreed, attributing it to Haley fitting Trump's profile.
