One of the bright spots among Trump’s often less than stellar staff/Cabinet picks and others in his orbit was Kellyanne Conway. Conway served as Trump’s 2016 campaign manager and later as a Senior Counselor to the President.
Her NeverTrump husband, George Conway, was an outspoken and particularly vitriolic critic of Trump who was one of the founding members of the disgraced Lincoln Project. Conway reportedly felt, quite reasonably, that her husband’s public (and often inaccurate) criticism of Trump was a betrayal.
Kellyanne Conway and her husband George have filed for divorced after 22 years of marriage after admitting her husband’s criticism of Donald Trump was a betrayal.The couple known for being political opposites has gone their separate ways after years of speculation if the pair even liked each other, according to Page Six. George has been one of Donald Trump’s biggest critics, and publicly mocked the president on Twitter while he employed his wife.. . . . The pair have both hired divorced [sic] lawyers and they are working to divide their assets, Page Six reported.
Her husband’s very public antics must have been devastating to Conway. His Trump derangement was on full display when he used typical Lincoln Project tactics to attack Trump supporter Rep. Elise Stafanik (R-NY): Kellyanne Conway’s NeverTrump Husband Retweets Clear Photoshop of Elise Stefanik.

The news of their split comes as no great surprise given her husband’s role in Kellyanne’s decision to leave the White House in the wake of their daughter’s very public meltdown. Professor Jacobson noted in August of 2020:
Kellyanne Conway, one of the architects of the Trump 2016 win and his most prominent spokesperson, announced last night that she will be leaving the White House to address family issues.. . . . Kellyanne’s husband, Never Trumper George Conway, also announced that he is taking a break from the Lincoln Project and Twitter to focus on family. George Conway’s pathological anti-Trumpism and inability to deal his wife’s greater success is the root of the problem. Conway attacked his wife on Twitter, and became a Twitter star only because he was married to her. Few people knew of Conway, and no one cared what he thought, except for the fact that he would be weaponized against his wife and Trump. Conway became the equivalent of a kamikaze pilot flying his family into ship Trump. Destroying his wife’s career is George Conway’s most notable accomplishment, and how he will be remembered.
