Meadows: Kellyanne Conway’s departure is ‘big blow to us’
Conway announced late Sunday that she would leave the White House at the end of August.
White House chief of staff Mark Meadows acknowledged Monday that White House counselor Kellyanne Conway’s upcoming departure from the administration represented a “big blow” to President Donald Trump’s team.
“It’ll be a big hole, a big blow to us,” Meadows said in an interview on “CBS This Morning.”
“We certainly will be praying for her as she made this decision that some people will see … as a difficult decision,” he added. “But I believe if you ask Kellyanne Conway, she believes she made the right decision for her family.”
Conway announced late Sunday that she would leave the White House at the end of August, citing the need to spend more time with her children as they continue remote learning in the fall semester.
“For now, and for my beloved children, it will be less drama, more mama,” Conway said in a statement on Sunday.
