He nearly joined Trump's administration. Now he's running for Congress as a Democrat.

Ten years ago, George Conway almost took a job with Donald Trump, then became one of his biggest critics. He lost his marriage but found a new political identity.

George Conway has heard all the names Donald Trump called him during the president’s political rise, fall and comeback over the past decade.
“Deranged loser.”
“Whack job.”
“Husband from hell.” (This in reference to Conway’s long marriage to Trump first-term adviser Kellyanne Conway.)
“Stone-cold loser.” (Conway’s favorite.)
“Moon face.”
“That was the racist one,” Conway said with a half-smile during a recent two-mile walk with his corgi, Clyde, on Manhattan’s East Side.

Arguably the country’s preeminent critic of the 45th and 47th president, Conway has a name of his own for Trump: “the lowest form of life on Earth.” In the greatest hits of their forever feud, Conway is quick to recall his most cherished interaction with his favorite foe: When Trump learned that Conway was getting divorced from Kellyanne in 2023, he posted on Truth Social: “Free at last, she has finally gotten rid of the disgusting albatross around her neck.” In response, Conway, who revels in trolling Trump, reminded him of the sexual abuse and defamation allegations made by writer E. Jean Carroll and how Conway, who encouraged Carroll to take legal action, couldn’t wait to see him in court: “Hugs and kisses 💕💕.” (Carroll was awarded more than $88 million in damages in these cases, but the rulings remain under appeal, and Trump has denied wrongdoing.)

1. "Losing" his marriage to Kellyanne feels like addition by subtraction.

2. He'll be running against several other Democrats, including Jack Schlossberg, JFK's grandson, to replace Jerry Nadler.

'Poll: Schlossberg leads NY-12 race'

"Kennedy scion Jack Schlossberg leads in the race to replace retiring Rep. Jerry Nadler, according to a new poll commissioned by his opponent George Conway’s campaign. The survey found Schlossberg was the top choice for 25% of likely voters in the district, followed by Conway, the prominent Trump critic and ex-husband of Kellyanne Conway, who had support from 16% of likely voters surveyed."

"The survey only asked about the top four contenders in the race...There are 10 Democrats still running."
