No Plans to Rehire Kellyanne Conway
Donald Trump has dismissed recent claims that he is considering reinstating Kellyanne Conway, his former campaign manager and senior White House counselor, to a prominent role in his current campaign.
This speculation emerged after Tara Palmeri, writing for the online magazine Puck, reported that some of Trump’s family members are advocating for Conway’s return. According to Palmeri, Trump’s wife Melania, his son Eric, and his daughter-in-law Lara, who also serves as an RNC co-chair, are all pushing for Conway to rejoin the campaign. Conway was a key figure in Trump's successful 2016 presidential bid.
However, in a conversation with The New York Times on Friday, Trump firmly denied these claims, stating that he is not planning any changes to his campaign leadership. "I’m very pleased with Susie Wiles and Chris LaCivita," Trump remarked, referencing his current top advisers. "Why would I make such a change?" he asked, casting doubt on the need for a shake-up.
These rumors come at a pivotal moment in the 2024 race, following President Joe Biden’s unexpected decision to bow out of the reelection race, which has reshuffled the political landscape. As Vice President Kamala Harris steps into the spotlight, recent polls indicate a close contest between her and Trump, with some surveys showing Harris with a narrow lead both nationally and in key battleground states.
Kellyanne Conway's Background and Influence
Kellyanne Conway made history in 2016 as the first woman to manage a winning U.S. presidential campaign. She then served as a senior counselor in Trump’s administration until 2020. Before joining Trump, Conway supported Ted Cruz in the 2016 primaries, leading a pro-Cruz super PAC. With a long career as a pollster, she founded the polling company inc./WomanTrend and co-authored the book What Women Really Want.
Conway's Exit from the White House
Conway left the White House in 2020 to focus on her family, which had garnered attention due to her daughter Claudia and then-husband George Conway’s public criticisms of Trump. In her 2022 memoir Here’s the Deal, she reflected on her time with Trump, mixing loyalty with criticism. In a 2023 FOX News interview, she urged the Republican Party to engage young voters more effectively for the 2024 election, warning that Democrats are building a strong "turnout machine."
