Kellyanne Conway, who previously advised Trump and is now a contributor for Fox News, believes that the results from Tuesday’s Democratic primary don’t indicate significant political shifts. Instead, she argues the wins echo the dynamics of just a few districts.
Speaking with Fox News Digital, she stated that candidates she labels as “anti-American” might find success in certain, very specific areas, but it’s doubtful they’ll resonate with a broader audience across the country.
This discussion followed the notable victories of progressive and socialist candidates in the primary, sparking renewed conversations about the Democratic Party’s possible leftward drift as it approaches the 2026 midterm elections.
In a rather bold prediction, a Republican gubernatorial hopeful suggested that Democratic voters might feel compelled to leave their party due to the growing presence of members from the New York Socialist Party.
When asked whether she thinks more progressive candidates will dominate future elections, Conway pointed out the “anti-American, anti-Israel candidates” who prevailed in Tuesday’s primary.
She believes their popularity will be restricted and limited to certain jurisdictions. “I don’t think that’s going to happen everywhere,” she mentioned. “It’s not consistent with the values of this country. It will likely happen in select neighborhoods, but not broadly.”
During her remarks, Conway was attending a ceremony at the Capitol celebrating the nation’s upcoming 250th anniversary. She expressed hope that “all Americans are very excited” about this milestone, even as they reflect on the Democratic primary outcomes.
Conway also referenced a recent poll regarding patriotism, expressing frustration over the fact that only 29% of Democrats reported feeling very proud to be American compared to a staggering 90% of Republicans.
She argued that these results reinforce her view that the activist faction within the Democratic Party is increasingly disconnected from a majority of Americans, suggesting that patriotism could be a significant issue for many voters as the midterms approach.
In a more personal note, when asked about her reaction to the death of her ex-husband, George Conway, a well-known critic of Trump, she simply stated, “I’m not surprised at all.” He had indeed been a vocal opponent of Trump and had recently run unsuccessfully against retiring U.S. Rep. Jerry Nadler.
