The COVID Diaries – 144 24th August
Kellyanne Conway, a key White House adviser, has announced she will be leaving Donald Trump’s administration at the end of August just months before the presidential election, saying she needs to focus on her family.
Conway was Trump’s campaign manager during the 2016 presidential contest and then became a senior counsellor to the president. She informed Trump of her decision in the Oval Office on Sunday.
The timing of her departure is raising questions as to why Trump is losing the most senior woman in the White House administration and why she has chosen to quit at this crucial moment.
