The Never Trump movement might be on life support, but one of the outlets that it gave birth to is flourishing. The Bulwark, a clear-eyed conservative news publication that stands in firm opposition to Donald Trump, is not only thriving online, but is in the midst of a “growth spurt,” publisher Sarah Longwell told me on Thursday. The outlet, which features notable investors such as James and Kathryn Murdoch, aims to expand with new hires in the coming weeks. The first of them? George Conway, the conservative attorney whose sharp legal analysis and unsparing political commentary launched him from a well-known D.C. politico into a household name during the Trump administration. Conway will join The Bulwark as the host of a new podcast, “George Conway Explains it All (to Sarah Longwell),” breaking down the president’s legal cases in plain, easily digestible terms. The program, co-hosted by Longwell, will air once a week and the first episode will drop Thursday night. “The legal questions surrounding Trump are going to be an enormous part of what happens in 2024,” Longwell noted to me. “And I am not a lawyer. And I was constantly asking my friends who are lawyers to explain things to me. And I was like, George, how about we just do a podcast where you just explain stuff to me?”
