In a bold move, the Daily Mail has enlisted two powerhouse political figures as columnists for the final stretch of the 2024 U.S. election: Kellyanne Conway and Michael Wolff. The British tabloid announced that Conway, former Senior Counselor to President Trump, and Wolff, the provocative journalist who penned a scathing biography of Trump’s White House, will offer readers their competing takes on the presidential race.
With the election now less than four weeks away, the Daily Mail sees this as a major scoop. “Two titans of politics. Two VERY different viewpoints,” the publication proclaimed, promising readers an inside look at the election from voices who know it intimately. Conway, who was Trump’s campaign manager during his 2016 victory, will bring a perspective rooted in conservative strategy and pro-Trump insights. Wolff, on the other hand, has made his mark with books like Fire and Fury, where he depicted a chaotic Trump administration and an often-unhinged former president.
Katie Davies, US Editor-in-Chief of DailyMail.com, expressed excitement about the addition of these new voices, stating, “This election is arguably one of the most consequential in our lifetimes, and we’re laser-focused on reporting the stories only the Mail can deliver.” With Conway and Wolff now on board, the Daily Mail intends to give readers a fuller picture of what’s at stake in 2024. According to Davies, both columnists will offer “unrivaled and behind-the-scenes insights” into an election that has gripped the nation.
Conway, who has remained a vocal Trump advocate, shared her enthusiasm for the role, saying, “I am excited to pen a regular column at such a pivotal moment in our nation’s history.” She also emphasized her aim to go beyond “soundbites” and offer substantive analysis, as she does in her regular appearances on Fox News.
The addition of Wolff, known for his liberal stance and critical view of Trump, promises to bring balance—and likely, plenty of drama—to the Daily Mail’s election coverage. Wolff’s work has often stoked controversy, painting Trump as erratic and reckless, and he remains a divisive figure for conservatives.
Conway and Wolff’s backgrounds couldn’t be more different, but both have unique access and perspective on the political world. Conway’s ties to the Trump inner circle are as strong as ever, even as her ex-husband, George Conway, champions Trump’s opposition at The Bulwark. Wolff’s deep dives into Trump’s White House have captured public attention, even as they’ve drawn criticism from the right.
By bringing these two personalities together, the Daily Mail hopes to deliver a dynamic and provocative view of one of the most closely-watched elections in American history. Readers can expect a heady mix of insider gossip, sharp analysis, and plenty of fireworks.
