•Conway, a founding member of the Lincoln Project, expressed frustration with Senate Democrats who voted to reopen the government.

In a move that feels equal parts political plot twist and sequel nobody asked for, George Conway—legendary anti-Trump Republican and ex-husband of Kellyanne Conway—filed to run for Jerry Nadler’s open House seat in Manhattan. Once Maryland-resident, now Chelsea-dwelling campaign host, Conway enters a sizzling lineup including JFK grandson Jack Schlossberg and Parkland shooting survivor turned activist Cameron Kasky, plus a full cast of local politicos like Micah Lasher and Alex Bores. Conway, famous for dropping nearly a million dollars supporting Biden, aims to oust Senate Democrats who reopened government without his blessing. A crowded field, a neighborhood that once elected Kamala Harris with 81%, and lots of drama. Grab popcorn.
