Jessica Rinaldi/The Boston Globe via Getty Images Kellyanne Conway was brutally honest with Trump about his 2020 campaign missteps, per a new book. "What you didn't have this time was the hunger and the swagger," she said of Trump's 2020 run. During the summer phone call, Conway reportedly told Trump to stop focusing on election grievances. See more stories on Insider's business page. Kellyanne Conway has long had the ear of former President Donald Trump.From her days as a pollster to managing the former president's successful 2016 campaign to serving as a White House senior counselor from 2017 to 2020, Conway has been an important part of his inner circle.During a phone conversation with Trump this summer, Conway, who was not formally on the 2020 campaign team, was decidedly blunt with the former president about where he went astray in his unsuccessful reelection bid, according to a new book by Washington Post journalists Bob Woodward and Robert Costa, an early copy of which was obtained by Insider.While Conway continues to enjoy a strong relationship with Trump, she also reminded the former president of the ordinary people who supported his campaigns and compared his 2020 bid to that of 2016 Democratic presidential nominee and political nemesis Hillary Clinton, which Woodward and Costa detailed in "Peril."But first, Conway told Trump that she wanted him to see her "as somebody else" and not just an advisor."I am a person, if not the person, close to you who did not take a dime, not a penny from your $1.4 billion reelection campaign," she said.Conway let Trump know that he needed to "get back to basics.""How did you win in the first place in 2016?
