Ex-White House communications director Anthony Scaramucci noted widespread disappointment among many people with President-elect Trump’s projected win on Wednesday morning.
“I just think it’s a — it’s a sad day for a lotta people, you know, they talk about non-white immigrants [in the] United States in a very us versus them, dehumanizing sort of a way,” Scaramucci told CNN’s John Berman.
“And so hopefully, when he takes that mantle of leadership again, I hope that he takes [a] pause and thinks about that, that the country needs to unite and there needs to be a healing process in the country,” he added.
Trump, Scaramucci’s boss during his short-lived role, secured another four years in the White House on Wednesday, defeating Vice President Harris in the 2024 presidential election, according to projections from Decision Desk HQ. Scaramucci became a critic of Trump after he was fired from the White House in 2017.
Trump, as well as tech billionaire Elon Musk, received Scaramucci’s congratulations, and he also said that his former boss’s campaign had been “well-executed.”
“He won the popular vote, John, it’s a democracy, and so he’s — he’s my president, he’s your President and I do wish him well, but I’m worried, because the rhetoric that he was using in the campaign, if he executes on that rhetoric, it’ll be good for some people, but it won’t be good for all of America, and that’s something that worries me,” Scaramucci said.
Late last month, he said he thought Trump would lose this year’s election, saying that he believed Harris was “going to win because she’s got the money, the organization, and I think there are more good people in the country.”
Trump told his backers early Wednesday morning that the U.S. had given him and his party “a powerful and unprecedented mandate.”
The Hill has reached out to the Trump campaign for comment.
