George Conway Launches 2026 Manhattan House Bid to Impeach Donald Trump
George Conway formally enters the 2026 race for Manhattan's House seat, focusing his campaign on the impeachment of Donald Trump over Venezuela actions.
A high-profile former Republican attorney has officially swapped his party colors to take a direct shot at the President. George Conway, the staunch anti-Trump critic, launched his bid for a Manhattan House seat on January 6, 2026, framing his entire campaign around a single, explosive mission: impeaching Donald Trump.
Conway's Platform: Impeachment and the Venezuela Crisis
In a searing 2-minute rollout video, Conway didn't mince words, calling Trump "mendacious" and "criminal." He's targeting Trump's recent actions in Venezuela, specifically the seizure of President Nicolás Maduro to face charges in the U.S. Conway told POLITICO that this move completely disregarded the War Powers Act, calling it a blatant abuse of commander-in-chief authority.
Navigating the Deep Blue Primary Field
Conway is entering a crowded Democratic primary for the seat being vacated by Rep. Jerrold Nadler. While the district is solidly Democratic, Conway's recent conversion to the party will face intense scrutiny. He'll be up against established local figures like Assemblymember Alex Borres, City Council Member Erik Bottcher, and Kennedy scion Jack Schlossberg.
Despite the focus on "kitchen table" issues like affordability, Conway argues that everything flows from the instability caused by Trump. Since his high-profile divorce from former Trump advisor Kellyanne Conway in 2023, George has fully leaned into his role as the ultimate antagonist to his former party's leader.
