The truth about Kellyanne Conway's relationship with her influencer daughter - as they set the record straight on their political 'rift' in a tell-all interview

Former White House advisor Kellyanne Conway's relationship with her daughter Claudia has been a point of public fascination even since the Gen-Z influencer exploded onto the political scene by publicly criticizing then-President Donald Trump in 2020.

At the time, Kellyanne was one of Trump's most trusted aides and critics pounced on the evidence of a rift in the mother-daughter duo.

But the truth, it appears, is far more interesting.

In an exclusive clip of Fox Nation's new show 'Here's The Deal with Kellyanne Conway,' Kellyanne and Claudia clear the air – and reveal that they agree on far more than the naysayers would care to admit.

That's, perhaps, a lesson that many Americans would do well to heed.

'I can look at you and love you even though you have a different political opinion than I do,' said Claudia in the episode set to air Thursday.

'The divisiveness and the lack of unity in our political atmosphere right now is what is going to drive us further apart,' explained the 19-year-old political independent, who boasts a 1.5 million-strong TikTok following.

Kellyanne and her daughter see eye to eye on this, though the veteran political pollster and consultant conceded that many of her friends and acquaintances are perplexed by how they manage to make it all work.

'I like to think that you were raised along with your siblings as independent thinkers and that you come to your own politics,' said Kellyanne.

Indeed, Claudia, who posed for Playboy Magazine in March 2023, is not one to hide.

In a 2020 interview, Claudia was asked if she'd hold back her criticism of Trump, while her mother was advising the president.

'I'm not going to because I think I have a right to my own freedom of speech. If she works for Trump, she works for Trump,' she said at the time.

That natural tension briefly erupted into view when Claudia, then 15 years old, said in a now-deleted 2020 tweet: 'My parents, particularly my mother, are trying to silence me by getting me to delete my social media. Haha.'

Then in January 2021, Claudia controversially posted that she was 'pursuing emancipation' from her mother

Now, those issues appear to be in the past.

'I applaud you and commend you for having me on your show and having people of all different backgrounds on your show because I think these conversations are the most important conversations,' Claudia told her mother.

Claudia is emerging as an expert on the mindset of Generation Z.

From her perspective, this election is 'strikingly different' from past cycles, because voters aged 18-29 years old are engaged like never before due to the influence of social media.

Kellyanne agreed: 'Our youngest generation seems to be among the most politically active right now. I don't think we've seen that as a nation for quite a while.'

The issues that are driving young voters, according to Claudia, are reproductive health, the state of the U.S. economy, the Israel-Hamas war – and, in a potential warning to Trump – who they view as the candidate most likely to break from the past.

'I think that [Gen-Z voters] look at Donald Trump and Joe Biden and they see two older men, who have been involved in politics forever,' Claudia explained.

'They look at Kamala Harris, even though she's directly associated with Joe Biden, which many people do acknowledge…. they see a change.'

Speaking for herself, Claudia said: 'I look at Kamala Harris and I don't see a perfect person. I don't see a perfect leader, but I do see change.''I'm not one for identity politics, but it would be nice to have a woman in the White House.'

This episode of 'Here’s The Deal with Kellyanne Conway' will premiere on Fox Nation on Thursday, September 26th
