After years of speaking out against her former boss both on and off her post at The View — yet never officially endorsing Vice President Kamala Harris in the 2024 presidential race — ex-White House staffer and prior Donald Trump aide Alyssa Farah Griffin revealed on election day that she voted for the Democratic candidate "for the first time" in her life.

During the November 5 episode of The View, the 35-year-old commentator shared, “Four years ago today, I was in the White House with Donald Trump on election night. I believed he deserved to lose that night [in 2020], at that point. I thought he hadn’t fought to win the election, but I thought the next four years would be the Republican party rebuilding and becoming something I could believe in and turning the page on Donald Trump, and it didn’t do that. So, this weekend, on Saturday, for the first time in my life, I voted for a Democrat.”
To applause from the audience, she said, “I voted for Kamala Harris.” She then clarified that she “voted down-ballot for Republicans” for her remaining decisions.
“I consider my vote on loan to her,” she shared.
Alyssa continued, “I’m worried about the direction Donald Trump will take this country, and I take my own warning seriously. What I saw is very real. I’m a Christian, I’m an American, and I’m a Republican, in that order, and I need somebody who shares my values. I need somebody who’s a kind and decent person who will bring this country together. I don’t agree with a lot of her policies. We can criticize those down the road, but today it’s about a brighter future and I think the best thing for the country and the future of the Republican party is that Donald Trump lose and that Kamala Harris is elected.”
