Ivanka Trump has flip-flopped a few times on whether or not to support her father.
Ivanka Trump, the daughter of President Donald Trump, made a brief but notable appearance during her father’s victory speech on Wednesday night, marking her first public outing of the 2024 election cycle. At 43 years old, Ivanka has largely kept a low profile this time around, a sharp contrast to her active role during her father’s first term in the White House. However, her presence at the Palm Beach County Convention Center signaled her continued support for her father’s campaign.
Dressed in a sophisticated blue velvet pantsuit, Ivanka stood alongside her father’s most prominent female supporters, including First Lady Melania Trump, her sister-in-law Lara Trump, and Trump’s other daughters, Tiffany and Kimberly Guilfoyle, who is engaged to Donald Trump Jr. The scene highlighted the unity of the Trump family, with strong women standing by the Republican leader during this significant moment.
Though Ivanka had previously played a central role in her father’s 2016 campaign and served as a senior adviser in his administration, she has been noticeably absent from the political spotlight in this election. Unlike in 2016, when she was front and center on the campaign trail, Ivanka has taken a step back to focus on her personal life and family. In an Instagram post announcing her decision to stay out of the political arena, she explained, “I love my father very much, but this time around I am choosing to prioritize my young children and the private life we are creating as a family.”
Her decision to keep her distance from the campaign reflects a desire for privacy and family time, despite her unwavering support for her father. While she may not be actively campaigning this time, Ivanka’s appearance on stage was a clear reminder of the powerful bond within the Trump family and their collective commitment to his political vision.
