US Election Live: Former Trump Officials Join Harris Campaign During Debate | US Elections 2024

Former Trump officials join Harris campaign at debate

They will be joined by two former Trump White House officials Kamala Harris‘s campaign in Philadelphia as alternates for Tuesday’s presidential debate, Harris’ campaign announced.

Anthony Scaramucci, who served as Donald Trump’s White House communications director, and Olivia Troye, who was the domestic security adviser to the then-Vice President Mike Pence and a top adviser to Trump’s White House coronavirus task force will speak out against Donald Trump and for Harris ahead of the debate, the campaign said.

The Harris-Walz campaign communications director announced the campaign’s plans to bring Scaramucci and Troye to the debate. Michael Tyler said:

Listen, don’t take it from us: take it from those who know Donald Trump best and who are telling the American people exactly how unfit Trump is to serve as president. They saw with their own eyes the abject failure of Donald Trump’s presidency.

The White stripes‘Jack White and Meg White have filed a lawsuit against Donald Trump for what they call the “blatant misappropriation” of a recording of their hit song Seven Nation Army in a campaign video.

The video that sparked the legal action was posted to X by Trump associate Margo McAtee Martin on Aug. 29 but has since been removed. It shows the Republican presidential candidate boarding a plane with the opening riff of Seven Nation Army playing in the background.

Jack White responded at the time via Instagram, writing:

Don’t even think about using my music you fascists. Lawsuit from my lawyers over this (to add to your 5000 others).

The singer has made good on the threat by filing a copyright infringement lawsuit, alongside Meg Wit, such as the White Stripes, who sought “significant financial damages” and named Trump, his campaign and Martin as defendants.

The lawsuit alleges that the campaign neither sought nor received permission from the band to use the song, and failed to respond to attempts to resolve the issue prior to the lawsuit.
