Did Claudia Conway shake up Trump’s White House with TikTok? How a 15-year-old turned social media on her mum, outgoing presidential counsellor Kellyanne Conway

Is Claudia Conway to blame – or thank, depending on your politics – for her mother’s sudden departure from The White House? If the Twitter-storm hasn’t reached you yet: Claudia is the 15-year-old daughter of Kellyanne Conway, the outgoing counsellor to President Donald Trump – and her husband, the anti-Trump conservative lawyer, George Conway.

Over the past few weeks, Claudia has used her TikTok and Twitter presence to vocally oppose Trump, as well as her mother's politics. She said on August 23 that she was going to take a break from TikTok to focus on her mental health.

Just hours later, she returned to social media though, to post videos celebrating her parents' statements that they were withdrawing from politics.

She first reacted to Kellyanne's statement, sharing a video of herself with her mother’s resignation statement in the background, while saying: “Y'all, I know I said I was talking a break but … umm … umm … umm … umm …”

She later posted another video of her with her father's tweet in the background, saying: “Look what I did. Look at what I did, ladies and gentlemen. Look at what I did.”

Kellyanne Conway announced that she would be leaving her White House role at the end of August so she can focus on her family.

“In time, I will announce future plans. For now, and for my beloved children, it will be less drama, more mama,” she wrote.

That same day George Conway also tweeted to say he was “withdrawing” from The Lincoln Project, the anti-Trump conservative group that he co-founded, “to devote more time to family matters”.

The dynamics of the Conways' marriage has been a source of huge interest given their political differences, and how vocal they have both been about their beliefs in social media and in interviews.
