Why Ivanka Trump was missing from the Donald Trump campaign in 2024 US election
Jared Kushner mentioned in an interview that Ivanka Trump has concluded this phase of her life by stepping away from political engagements.
Amidst public engagements by Donald Trump’s sons and wife, Melania Trump, in support of the presidential candidate’s campaign, his eldest daughter and former aide, Ivanka Trump, has notably maintained a low profile, steering clear of the limelight. Despite actively participating in her father’s previous election endeavors by making television appearances, joining him at rallies, and striving to connect with female voters, Ivanka’s current absence from the public eye is conspicuous.
What prompted her to distance herself from the political arena?
Amid her father’s third and likely last bid for a political position, Ivanka Trump and her spouse, Jared Kushner, disclosed their decision to distance themselves from the political sphere, as per a report by the New York Times (NYT). “Although my affection and backing for my father will persist, I intend to show it in a non-political capacity moving forward,” she expressed.
During a conversation on Lex Fridman’s podcast, Ivanka shared that she prioritized her children when making a certain choice. She emphasized, “I refuse to let them shoulder that burden,” highlighting the cutthroat nature of politics. Ivanka Trump and her spouse, Jared Kushner, have three children.
Is there a possibility that she will come back?
In a recent interview with Kushner, where Ivanka chose not to participate, the American businessman expressed his support for Donald Trump, mentioning that his wife has decided to move on from the political chapter of her life.
Kushner informed The New York Times that Ivanka Trump decided to close the chapter of her life associated with Washington when she departed from the city, and she has remained remarkably consistent in her decision.
He expressed our support for him, mentioning our pride in him as well. He also pointed out that regardless of the outcome, our lives will keep progressing.
Was Ivanka Trump influenced by Jared Kushner’s business dealings when making her decision?
Should Trump make a return to the White House, concerns may be raised regarding potential preferential treatment received by Kushner and Ivanka due to their business ventures funded by the governments of Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, and Qatar. This is in light of reports from the NYT indicating that Kushner, Trump’s son-in-law and erstwhile senior adviser, manages a $3 billion private equity fund.
According to Kushner, he maintains a close relationship with Donald Trump and Ivanka, with regular conversations over phone calls. Kushner mentioned that they are always available to offer advice or assistance whenever Trump reaches out to Ivanka.
