TikTok star Claudia Conway talks navigating political disagreements with mom Kellyanne Conway
Claudia Conway made a TikTok video with her mother, former Trump campaign manager Kellyanne Conway.
Claudia Conway, 20, cast her first vote in a presidential election on Tuesday alongside her mother, former Trump campaign manager Kellyanne Conway. The two have famously disagreed on politics, but Claudia Conway shared their trip to the polls on TikTok nonetheless.
“There is absolutely no universe or world where I would cast a vote for Donald Trump and be OK with it and live with myself afterwards,” Claudia Conway, who describes herself as a “left-of-center independent,” told B-17 on election night.
In the TikTok video, which was viewed over 237,000 times as of Wednesday morning, Kellyanne Conway said they were going to “cancel out each other’s votes.”

“While I’m not happy with who she voted for or her voting choices, they’re her choice,” Claudia Conway said of her mother’s politics. “Just as every American who has the right to vote has that choice, and that choice is a constitutional right that they have and they can exercise however they please.”
Claudia Conway told B-17 that casting her vote for Vice President Kamala Harris was “pretty emotional.”
“It was really meaningful to me,” she said. “As somebody who grew up around politics and grew up watching so many presidential campaigns, from the time I was literally born, I think it was just such a full circle moment for me to go into the polls on Election Day to cast my ballot.”
