But Ivanka, Donald Trump’s eldest daughter, whom he had hoped for and even groomed as a “Successor”, has all but faded from public view. With Donald Trump winning the election, there has been speculation about whether Ivanka will “Come back” and form a “Father-daughter partnership” with Donald Trump, the CNN (CNN) and other media gave a clear response on the 23rd that Ivanka will not return to politics.

CNN recently interviewed a number of sources about Ivanka. Ivanka and Donald Trump are still in close contact, the media has learnt, with the father and daughter in regular contact and Ivanka advising the father on “A range of issues”. Kody? , a longtime friend of Ivanka’s, said Ivanka was now his “Unofficial adviser” as a “Trusted voice” but that her support for him was limited to being “Like family”. Others familiar with the matter said that whatever advice Ivanka offered “Will never be made public”. Ivanka’s husband, Kushner, a former senior White House adviser, recently declined Donald Trump’s offer but will continue to act as an “Important peripheral adviser” to the US president, according to CNN.
When Donald Trump ran for president in 2016, Ivanka, who had already made a name for himself in business, was a strong supporter of his father’s political path, according to media reports. According to the New Yorker magazine, Ivanka earned his father “Points” for his good image and good manner. After entering the White House, Donald Trump defied controversy and promoted his daughter and son-in-law, who served as his right-hand men in the inner circle of power. According to the Guardian, Ivanka has spent four years in politics promoting criminal justice reform and the empowerment of women, one of the most notable is a 12-week paid maternity leave for the vast majority of federal employees in the United States.
Yet Ivanka also suffered multiple losses during Donald Trump’s controversial first term. Her brand was forced to close due to a widespread boycott, and her speech at an institution of higher learning was cancelled. Especially after the 2021“Capitol Hill riots,” Ivanka lost many of his former friends and political resources. To protect themselves, she and her husband have lived in Miami, Florida, since 2021, away from the city of New York for many years. The move was seen by the New York Times and others as a form of “Forced exile” for the Ivanka family. When Donald Trump re-announced his candidacy in 2022, Ivanka said only on social media that he “Loved my father very much, but was determined to stay out of politics”
The New York Times said Ivanka had almost always acted as a “Silent observer” despite the 2024 election. Her older brothers, Donald Jr and Eric, took on more responsibilities, and Eric’s wife, Lala, was groomed by Donald Trump. In July, Ivanka revealed for the first time what it’s like to be in politics on a podcast, “Politics is a dark world,” she said. “There are too many dark currents, too many negative factors… for me and my family, it’s best not to get involved.”
According to CNN, Ivanka has now fully returned to a “Peaceful family life” where he can be with his children and take care of his family’s health. The Ivanka family currently lives with her 98-year-old grandmother. Her husband, Kushner, has had thyroid cancer surgery twice. In addition, Ivanka’s social media platform to share more content for daily life. While MS Ivanka will not return to politics for the next four years, she could still play a role in the public good, according to people familiar with the matter, such as her own focus on food safety, disaster relief and helping farmers.
But critics see many conflicts of interest even as the Ivanka are far from the political centre. Vickie Worde, an American investigative journalist, said the couple’s influence would likely make them “Shadow Secretaries of State” in Donald Trump’s second term. “They don’t need to be in government at all,” says Worde. “The US government is just good business for them.”
