Olivia Troye

In the wake of the collapse of the Afghan government and the fall of Kabul in August 2021, Troye called attention to deliberate obstruction of the visa process during the Trump Administration, especially by Stephen Miller, for Afghans who were partners with U.S. efforts in Afghanistan.

Olivia Troye is an American national security official who worked on national security and homeland security issues at the National Counterterrorism Center, the United States Department of Energy Office of Intelligence and Counterintelligence, and the DHS Office of Intelligence and Analysis. She went on to work in the Office of the Vice President of the United States as the Homeland Security and Counterterrorism advisor to Vice President Mike Pence and also served on the White House Coronavirus Task Force as Pence's lead staffer on the Task Force. She resigned from the White House in August 2020.

After leaving the White House, Troye became an outspoken critic against the Trump Administration’s response on the COVID-19 pandemic. She later publicly supported Joe Biden for the 2020 United States presidential election. Troye endorsed Biden in a video released by Republican Voters Against Trump.

In August 2020, Troye joined the National Insurance Crime Bureau as vice president of strategy, policy, and plans. Troye is also an advisor to Defending Democracy Together, a conservative, anti-Donald Trump political group known for the "Republicans for the Rule of Law" initiative.

In 2020, Troye, along with over 130 other former Republican national security officials, signed a statement that asserted that President Trump was unfit to serve another term, and "To that end, we are firmly convinced that it is in the best interest of our nation that Vice President Joe Biden be elected as the next President of the United States, and we will vote for him."
