Kellyanne Conway Discusses The 2016 Presidential Election

Recorded on November 30, 2016

Kellyanne Conway discusses her life  working on a New Jersey blueberry farm as an adolescent in the summers and being brought up by her mother, grandmother, and two unmarried aunts. She reflects on how she became conservative through the values her family placed in her and the inspiring reelection campaign of Ronald Reagan in 1984. Brought in by Donald Trump in August, Conway talks about how she told Trump that he was losing but there was a pathway to victory, which she helped the campaign realize and bring about Donald Trump's victory. Finally,  Conway discusses how she is able to balance being a wife and mother with running a presidential campaign and what the future holds for her.
