Kellyanne Conyway quitting the White House; George Conway quitting The Lincoln Project
Top Trump counselor Kellyanne Conway announced tonight that she's leaving the White House at the end of the month. Minutes earlier, her husband George Conway tweeted that he's departing from anti-Trump political action committee The Lincoln Project.
From Conway's statement:
I will be transitioning from the White House at the end of this month. George is also making changes. We disagree about plenty but we are united on what matters most: the kids. Our four children are teens and 'tweens starting a new academic year, in middle school and high school, remotely from home for at least a few months. As millions of parents nationwide know, kids "doing school from home" requires a level of attention and vigilance that is as unusual as these times.
From CNN:
Kellyanne Conway is scheduled to speak at this week's Republican National Convention, but it's unclear if she will still do so.
One of the Conways' high school-aged daughters has generated attention on social media about her family and their political views over the last several months.
From the New York Post:
"I'm officially pushing for emancipation. Buckle up because this is probably going to be public one way or another, unfortunately. Welcome to my life," 15-year-old Claudia Conway tweeted Saturday night.
Left-leaning Claudia has been openly feuding with her parents on TikTok and Twitter all summer, bashing them for their conservative views.
At one point she urged progressive Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez to adopt her.
I'm Leaving the White House. Gratefully & Humbly.

God Bless You All.
So I'm withdrawing from @ProjectLincoln to devote more time to family matters. And I'll be taking a Twitter hiatus.

Needless to say, I continue to support the Lincoln Project and its mission. Passionately.
