President Donald Trump’s former adviser Kellyanne Conway said on Twitter Friday night she has covid-19 — and her daughter said she’s been “coughing all around the house.”

It’s not that bad, Kellyanne Conway said.

“Tonight I tested positive for COVID-19,” she tweeted. “My symptoms are mild (light cough), and I’m feeling fine. I have begun a quarantine process in consultation with physicians.”

Her teenage daughter, Claudia Conway, sounded a little more concerned on TikTok. She wrote: “bye i’m done i’ll see you all in two weeks.”

Things seem tough enough in the Conway household without a family covid-19 quarantine.

Kellyanne Conway — who represented Ted Cruz before he dropped out of the 2016 campaign — was a counselor to Trump until the end of August, when she quit to spend more time with her family.

She’s still a staunch Trump supporter. But her husband George, a Washington lawyer and GOP activist, has penned op-eds denouncing Trump in the Washington Post, and he co-founded The Lincoln Project, an anti-Trump GOP group that denounces the president in TV ads.

Claudia Conway, one of the couple’s four children, is also no fan of the president — “i’m furious. wear your masks,” she TikTokked on Friday before profanely denouncing Trump.
