Kellyanne Conway: Political Powerhouse with a Complicated Legacy
From Senior Counselor to Trump Critic
Kellyanne Elizabeth Conway née Fitzpatrick, born January 20, 1967, is an American political consultant and pollster who rose to prominence as a key advisor to former President Donald Trump.
In 2016, Conway became the first woman to successfully manage a presidential campaign, leading Trump to victory against Hillary Clinton. She subsequently served as Senior Counselor to the President from 2017 to 2020.
A Controversial Figure
Conway's tenure in the Trump administration was marked by both accomplishments and controversies. She was instrumental in shaping Trump's policies and messaging, but also faced criticism for her combative style and willingness to defend the President's most inflammatory statements.
After leaving the White House, Conway and her husband, George Conway, a lawyer and frequent Trump critic, announced their split in 2023. This marked a significant shift from their previous public support for the former President.
