What is White House Press Secretary Kayleigh McEnany’s salary?
WHITE House Press Secretary Kayleigh McEnany reportedly earns about $183,000 per year and is one of the highest-paid White House staffers.
A political commentator and author before joining the Trump administration, she is believed to be worth $500,000 in total.
What did Kayleigh McEnany say about Joe Biden?
McEnany’s comments from August 2015 – when Biden was considering running for president – were recently resurfaced by CNN’s KFile.
In an interview that aired on AM970 in New York, McEnany said she thought Republicans could “run into a problem if it is Joe Biden and if it is maybe a Trump on the other side.”
McEnany continued: “Because Joe Biden, one of the things he is remarkable at is really kind of being a man of the people and resonating with middle class voters.”
She said Biden’s “gaffes – as much as we make fun of them – to a certain extent they make him look human,” and that “he’s likable.”
“I think at the end of the day, probably Joe, although if Trump is against Joe, I think the juxtaposition of kind of the man of the people and kind of this tycoon, is a problem,” she said.
Asked if she thought Biden or former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton would be easier for Republicans to defeat in the 2016 presidential election, McEnany went with Biden.
She predicted that Biden would be the Democratic presidential nominee – although Biden decided not to make a bid in 2016.
What is her salary?
McEnany’s net worth is around $500,000, according to the International Business Times.
She is one of the highest paid White House staffers.
McEnany’s salary per year is $183,000, which is the same as Chief of Staff Mark Meadows.
Kellyanne Conway, Larry Kudlow, Hope Hicks, and Dan Scavino, among others on Trump’s team fall in the same pay bracket according to Fox Business.
Before she replaced former secretary Stephanie Grisham in 2008, McEnany was a political commentator and author.
Who is Kayleigh McEnany married to?
McEnany is married to Sean Gilmartin.
Sean Gilmartin is a professional baseball player who suits up for the Tampa Bay Rays.
McEnany and Gilmartin reportedly began dating in 2015. They wed two years later in a lavish ceremony.
According to Gilmartin, they align politically, although politics is not discussed on the field.
“We both have our opinions. We align fairly evenly on stuff like that, but that’s probably as far as I’m going to go right now with that,” Gilmartin told the Tampa Bay Times.
“We both have a singular focus and a united purpose: For me, it’s re-electing President Trump,” McEnany added.
Does she have any children?
In November 2019, four years after they began dating, McEnany also announced on Twitter that her and her husband welcomed their first child together, a baby girl named Blake Avery Gilmartin.
Did she have coronavirus?
She revealed on October 5 that she has tested positive for coronavirus.
McEnany wrote in a statement that “as an essential worker, I have worked diligently to provide needed information to the American People at the time.”
