Zack Sharf Digital News Director Former White House staffer and Donald Trump aide Alyssa Farah Griffin confirmed during “The View‘s” Election Day episode that she voted for Kamala Harris, marking the first time in her life that she’s backed a Democratic nominee for president of the United States.

Griffin has been widely outspoken against Trump during election season and previously called him “the most dangerous man to have ever sat in the American presidency.” “Four years ago today, I was in the White House with Donald Trump on election night,” Griffin said. “I believed he deserved to lose that night, 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.” As Griffin’s co-hosts and “The View” studio audience roared in applause, Griffin clarified that she is still a Republican at heart and that she considered her vote “a loan to [Kamala].” “I worry the direction that Donald Trump will take this country, and I take my own warning seriously,” Griffin explained about why she finally backed a Democrat. “I need someone who is a kind and decent person who will bring this country together.
