Trump just gave Kellyanne Conway a big job in the Trump administration. He named her ‘counselor to the president’, which means she’ll basically be a communications person who is responsible for communicating his legislative agenda:
FOX NEWS – Kellyanne Conway, the indefatigable campaign operative who became the face of Donald Trump’s successful presidential bid, has been named counselor to the president.
Conway, who joined Trump’s team as campaign manager in August, announced earlier this week on Fox News she was moving from her New Jersey home to Washington, signaling a pending position in the incoming Trump administration. Thursday’s announcement from the transition team laid out her new role.
“Kellyanne Conway has been a trusted advisor and strategist who played a crucial role in my victory,” Trump said in a statement released Thursday morning. “She is a tireless and tenacious advocate of my agenda and has amazing insights on how to effectively communicate our message. I am pleased that she will be part of my senior team in the West Wing.”
Conway will work with senior administration officials to communicate and execute Trump’s legislative priorities, the statement said.
Conway told “Fox & Friends” on Thursday that she will be in the West Wing to “continue my service” to Trump. She said she had weighed a number of factors including her family in considering a job, but described the West Wing-in-waiting as family friendly, saying, “So I’m fine on that score.”
Calling the appointment “very humbling,” she said: “It’s difficult to pass that up. I know I’ve got his ear and his trust.”
Well that took long enough. I would have thought she’d have gotten a job before now.
I’m sure we’ll be seeing a lot of her over the next four years defending and explaining Trump’s agenda on all the news shows.
