The race, for New York\u2019s 12th District, was highly competitive and heavily funded, especially due to AI-focused campaign spending.Historically known as a Trump critic and former lawyer for the Republican Party, Conway has <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/pope-francis-addresses-pro-abortion-politicians-receiving-communion\/\" title=\"Pope Francis Addresses Pro-Abortion Politicians Receiving Communion\">gained media attention<\/a> for his <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/nfl-draft-prospect-stuns-at-combine-event-i-dont-believe-in-space-i-dont-think-theres-other-planets\/\" title=\"NFL Draft Prospect Shocks at Combine: &#039;No Space, No Other Planets\">outspoken political stance<\/a> and personal life controversies, including his public disapproval of Donald Trump and involvement in high-profile lawsuits. Despite his publicity efforts, his campaign was notably unsuccessful. The article humorously contrasts Conway&#8217;s failure with the stronger performances of less prominent figures like Jack Schlossberg and Nina Schwalbe, highlighting Conway\u2019s limited electoral appeal and controversial persona.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><br \/>\n<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC \"-\/\/W3C\/\/DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional\/\/EN\" \"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/TR\/REC-html40\/loose.dtd\"><br \/>\n<?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><html><body><\/p>\n<section> \t\t\t\t<script>console.log(\"ad slot (AC1)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC1)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC2)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC3)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC4)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (REP_0)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (REP_1)\")<\/script><\/p>\n<p>Sure, George Conway broke up his family, changed his party affiliation, and became known as a labile bumbler thanks to Trump Derangement Syndrome, but at least he has a fifth-place finish in a Democratic House primary to show for it.<\/p>\n<p>Conway \u2014 a one-time Republican operative and one-time husband to Kellyanne Conway, campaign manager for Donald Trump\u2019s first presidential win and an adviser to the president \u2014 managed to finish behind four other people in the primary for New York\u2019s 12th Congressional District despite a blitz campaign and significant name recognition.<\/p>\n<p>With 87 percent of the vote counted in the race to replace retiring <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/next-horseman-apocalypse-chelsea-clinton-moving-take-jerry-nadlers-seat\/\">Democrat Rep. Jerrold Nadler<\/a> in a deep-blue Manhattan district, Conway was pulling 6.1 percent of the vote, according to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.fox5ny.com\/election\/nyc-ny-12-dem-primary-election-results-race-congress-new-york-city\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">The Associated Press<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>The race was declared shortly after 10 p.m. for <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/horrific-jew-blood-semen-comments-return-haunt-jfks-grandson-launches-campaign-replace-jerry-nadler-best-dems-can\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Micah Lasher<\/a>, a state assemblyman and prot\u00e9g\u00e9 of Nadler\u2019s, who had a little over 39 percent of the vote in the expensive race.<\/p>\n<p>Alex Bores, another state assemblyman who focused on regulating artificial intelligence during the campaign, was second with 35 percent of the vote.<\/p>\n<p>That Lasher and Bores would finish 1-2 wasn\u2019t too much of a shock; Bores\u2019 AI platform drew AI-centric PAC spending into the race in a major way, with PACs linked to OpenAI and Perplexity backing Lasher and a PAC linked to Anthropic boosting Bores, according to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cnbc.com\/2026\/06\/23\/ai-groups-spend-20-million-in-new-york-race-pitting-bores-lasher-schlossberg.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">CNBC<\/a>. Back-and-forth television attack ads blanketed New York media in the final weeks of the race, with more than $20 million spent.<\/p>\n<p>So that part wasn\u2019t a surprise. What <em>was<\/em> a shocker was the fact that Conway\u2019s campaign, despite its publicity, was so bad he finished behind the most embarrassing Kennedy family member not accused of killing anyone (yet) and some woman whose last major gig was as a USAID vaccine-distribution apparatchik.<\/p>\n<p>Jack Schlossberg, the son of Caroline Kennedy \u2014 who has never held gainful employment aside from being a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/content-creators-blasted-for-profiting-off-of-philadelphias-tranq-tourism\/\" title=\"Critics slam content creators profiting from Philadelphia&#039;s &#039;tranq tourism\">social media creator<\/a> and writing a handful of short freelance pieces for Vogue \u2014 finished third with 10.8 percent of the vote as of Tuesday night. Consider this description of his campaign launch from <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2026\/05\/14\/nyregion\/jack-schlossberg-campaign.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">The New York Times<\/a> and marvel at the fact that he basically got twice as many votes as Conway did:<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p><em>Reviving a political dynasty is best not left to chance. So on the morning that Jack Schlossberg, the grandson of John F. Kennedy, announced his campaign for a House seat in New York City, his team had a carefully choreographed plan.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>Aides teed up calls with frenzied media outlets, Democratic luminaries and a roster of wealthy donors. The goal was to show that Mr. Schlossberg, a 33-year-old heir known for his good looks and madcap social media musings, was a serious candidate ready for what promised to be a grueling race.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>But just hours into his Day 1 launch, the candidate abruptly announced a change of plans, according to three people familiar with the events. Forget dialing for dollars \u2014 Mr. Schlossberg said he needed a nap. He then effectively disappeared for the day, leaving his team reeling.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Ask not what your sleep schedule can do for you, ask what you can do for your sleep schedule. When not snoozing through his campaign launch, the Times\u2019 May profile revealed, he was a\u201dconfounding social media presence whose scathing critiques of his cousin Robert F. Kennedy Jr. were interspersed with videos of himself dancing shirtless or claims that he was \u2018having a son\u2019 with the wife of the vice president.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>This is actually too kind by more than half; he\u2019s known for posting in various multiple personalities and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/kennedy-scion-performs-nazi-sieg-heil-resurfaced-video\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">flogging anti-Semitic tropes<\/a>, as well. Still good for way more votes than George Conway.<\/p>\n<p>Fourth place? Nina \u201cUm, Who?\u201d Schwalbe, whose last major gig, according to left-wing NYC outlet <a href=\"https:\/\/hellgatenyc.com\/winners-losers-ny-12-second-debate\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Hell Gate<\/a>, was \u201cbeing tapped by the Biden administration to lead USAID\u2019s global distribution of millions of COVID-19 vaccines during the pandemic.\u201d She had 7.1 percent of the vote, a full percentage point more than Conway.<\/p>\n<p>Let\u2019s not forget that we\u2019re not too far removed from a time where Conway was omnipresent on <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3YuVZYV\" >cable news due<\/a> to the fact that he was willing to publicly break up his marriage to his wife because he hated Donald Trump so much, then got even more attention as one of the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/trump-perfect-response-judge-threatens-throw-courtroom\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">motive interests<\/a> behind E.
