Former CNN commentator Kayleigh McEnany, 29, has joined Team Trump to present the "real news" of the Administration's achievements that the president feels are being overlooked by a biased mainstream press.

“Kayleigh will be an integral part of our Party’s ongoing commitment to promoting the Republican message to Americans across the country,” said RNC Chairwoman Ronna McDaniel. “Her wealth of experience will be invaluable to the RNC as we continue to support President Trump and build on our majorities in Congress as we head into 2018.”
