Kellyanne Conway, one of President Donald Trump�s most influential and longest serving advisers, announced Sunday that she would be leaving the White House at the end of the month.

Conway, Trump�s campaign manager during the stretch run of the 2016 race, was the first woman to successfully steer a White House bid, then became a senior counselor to the president. She informed Trump of her decision in the Oval Office.

Conway cited a need to spend time with her four children in a resignation letter she posted Sunday night. Her husband, George, had become an outspoken Trump critic and her family a subject of Washington�s rumor mill.

�We disagree about plenty but we are united on what matters most: the kids,� she wrote. �For now and for my beloved children, it will be less drama, more mama.�

She is still slated to speak at the Republican National Convention this week. Her husband, an attorney who renounced Trump after the 2016 campaign, had become a member of the Lincoln Project, an outside group of Republicans devoted to defeating Trump.
