George Conway’s Political Leap Puts Kellyanne Conway Back in the Spotlight
There’s a fascinating political story unfolding right now, and while it centers on George Conway, it inevitably brings renewed attention to Kellyanne Conway as well. George Conway, once a conservative lawyer and now one of Donald Trump’s most vocal critics, has quietly taken a major step toward running for Congress as a Democrat in New York City. Paperwork has been filed with the Federal Election Commission, signaling his intent to compete in the Democratic primary for New York’s 12th Congressional District, a seat being vacated by longtime Rep. Jerry Nadler.
What makes this moment especially striking is how far Conway has traveled politically. Early in his career, he was firmly rooted in conservative legal circles, even working on high-profile cases like Paula Jones’ lawsuit against President Bill Clinton. At one point, he was reportedly considered for a role in Trump’s first administration. Back then, his political world overlapped closely with his wife at the time, Kellyanne Conway, who would go on to manage Trump’s 2016 campaign and serve as a top White House adviser.

But during Trump’s presidency, a dramatic shift was seen. George Conway emerged as a relentless public critic of Trump, often clashing with the president on social media. These very public disputes created awkward headlines, especially given Kellyanne Conway’s prominent role inside the administration. Eventually, George Conway became a co-founder of the Lincoln Project, an anti-Trump Republican group, cementing his break from the GOP. He later left the organization but remained a familiar anti-Trump voice in media and political commentary. The Conways divorced in 2023, formally closing a personal chapter that had symbolized the deep political divisions of the Trump era.
Now, with this congressional move, that evolution appears to be entering a new phase. Although Conway has not officially launched his campaign yet, a source close to him has confirmed that filing the paperwork was a necessary step if he intends to run. In a recent Substack post, Conway hinted strongly at his intentions, saying he was “going into the arena” and ready to put everything on the line. Around the same time, he announced he was leaving his podcast role, suggesting that something big was coming.
If he follows through, Conway will face a crowded Democratic primary in one of the bluest districts in the country, with candidates ranging from state lawmakers to well-known activists and media figures. Still, his name recognition and long-standing opposition to Trump could make him a formidable contender.
In the end, this potential run underscores how dramatically political identities can shift in modern American politics. And even though Kellyanne Conway is no longer directly part of the story, her former husband’s decision ensures that their intertwined political legacy is once again being talked about, this time from a very different angle.
