In 2016, Kellyanne Conway made history as the first woman to serve as a presidential campaign manager who secured an election victory.
Following the campaign, she joined the administration of President Donald Trump, holding the position of senior counselor and playing a visible role in communications and policy initiatives.
After 22 years of marriage, Conway filed for divorce from attorney George Conway in March 2023, citing personal differences that had emerged during their public and political lives.
George Conway, a former adviser in the Trump White House, later co‑founded the Lincoln Project, a political organization of Republicans opposing Trump, and became a frequent commentator on television and in print.
In April 2026, Conway disclosed that his political activities had led to personal financial losses, including a substantial outlay that affected his family’s inheritance.
That same year, Conway entered the Democratic primary for New York’s 12th congressional district, campaigning on a platform of opposing Trump‑aligned politics; he finished fifth with approximately five percent of the vote.
President Donald Trump responded publicly to the primary outcome, describing Conway’s performance in critical terms and referencing the divorce.
