Conway says she will move to Washington

Kellyanne Conway said Tuesday she plans to move to Washington, D.C. with her family, leaving open the possibility that she will serve in President-elect Donald Trump’s White House.

“My family is going to move to Washington, D.C. and I will either stay outside and run the political super structure or I will go into the West Wing and take a position right next to the president where I feel like I can serve him in the way I advise him off-camera, which is most of the advice and counsel I give is off-camera, not on-camera,” Conway, who was Trump’s campaign manager, told Fox News’s “Happening Now.”

Conway, who currently lives in New Jersey with her husband and four children, told The Hill last month that she had not ruled out serving in Trump’s administration.

{mosads}Conway told radio host Hugh Hewitt earlier this month that she declined to serve as Trump’s press secretary.

Conway reiterated Tuesday that she plans to continue serving Trump and Vice President-elect Mike Pence after the transition.

“I have the president-elect’s trust and I have his ear,” Conway said, adding that Republicans “need to be on offense and defense” as they begin looking at the 2018 mid-term elections. 

She pointed to David Plouffe, President Obama’s former campaign manager who then worked with Organizing for America, when discussing how she could serve Trump in an external capacity.
