George Conway, a former Republican who has become an outspoken critic of President Donald Trump, on Tuesday announced a run for a U.S. House seat representing Midtown Manhattan.
Conway, a conservative lawyer and commentator who helped found the anti-Trump Lincoln Project, jumps into a crowded Democratic primary that includes the grandson of former president John F. Kennedy and other lifelong Democrats. He announced his run on the anniversary of the Jan. 6, 2021, U.S. Capitol riot to highlight what he called Trump’s disdain for the rule of law.
