“I will be leaving the White House at the end of this month. George is also making changes,” Kellyanne Conway said of her husband and frequent Trump critic George Conway in a statement.
“We do not agree on many, but we are united on what matters most: the children. Our four children are teenagers and ‘tweens starting a new academic year, in high school and high school. “At least a few months away from home. As millions of parents nationwide know, children ‘doing school at home’ require a level of attention and alertness that is as unusual as these times.”
Kellyanne Conway is scheduled to speak at this week’s Republican National Convention, but it is unclear if she will still do so.
She landed her position in 2016 after becoming the first female campaign manager to win a presidential race.
But political tensions with her husband had spilled over into the public eye in recent years.
Each of the Lincoln Project tenets had aligned themselves with the “NeverTrump” movement in the 2016 election and have since been outspoken critics of Trump and the Republican Party.
Yet Kellyanne Conway maintained in her statement Sunday that “the incredible men, women and children we have met along the way have confirmed my later-in-life experience that public service can have meaning and effect.”
“For all its political differences and cultural divisions, this is a beautiful country full of great people. The promise of America belongs to all of us,” Kellyanne Conway said.
They also emphasize that the decision “is entirely my choice and my vote.”
“At the time, I will announce future plans. For now, and for my beloved children, it will be less drama, more mom,” she said.
