Signature

On August 1, 2016, Conway became the campaign manager for Donald Trump.^[1]

Since Trump became president, Conway has had many problems. She said that there were "alternative facts" when talking about a "Bowling Green massacre" that never happened. She said that Michael Flynn had the full confidence of the president hours before he was fired. Members of Congress from both parties asked for an investigation of ethics violations after she publicly endorsed the president's daughter, Ivanka Trump's commercial products.^[2] In June 2019, the US Office of Special Counsel said that Conway should be fired for breaking the Hatch Act of 1939.^[3]

Conway was born in Atco, New Jersey.

In October 2020, Conway tested positive for COVID-19.^[4][5]

In 2001, she married George Conway. During Donald Trump's presidency, George became a prominent critic of Trump, even when his wife worked for him. In March 2023, George and Kellyanne announced that they were divorcing after 22 years of marriage.^[6]

In July 2024, Fox News announced that Conway will host a weekly program on the network’s streaming platform, Fox Nation, called Here's The Deal with Kellyanne Conway.^[7]
