It will be without her. Ivanka Trump, the daughter and former adviser to former US President Donald Trump, announces that she “does not plan to get into politics” after her father announced Tuesday that he was running for a second term in the 2024 election.
The former politician explains that she “loves her father very much” but that “she prioritizes her young children and the privacy that we are building as a family,” she specifically told the Fox News site. Ivanka Trump had three children with her husband Jared Kushner, who was also an adviser to Donald Trump during his presidency.
“I will always love and support my father, but now I will do it outside of the political arena,” Ivanka Trump said. “I am grateful to have had the honor of serving the American people and will always be proud of the many accomplishments of our administration.”
In retreat from the assault on the Capitol
The announcement of this withdrawal is not a surprise in a context where Donald Trump’s daughter has disagreed with her father on several occasions during her father’s term but also after his defeat in 2020.
The latest point of contention is the handling of the attack on the Capitol by radical Trumpists on January 6, 2021. Ivanka Trump and her husband testified before the House Inquiry into the attack to explain that they had tried to convince Donald Trump to that he had indeed lost the 2020 elections and that there was no electoral fraud. Her father, meanwhile, still refuses to appear before this commission and to recognize the legitimacy of Joe Biden’s election, showing his benevolence towards the attackers on Capitol Hill.
In the past, Ivanka Trump had already opposed her father trying to convince him not to abandon the Paris Agreement on climate or not to separate the families of illegal immigrants detained at the border with Mexico.
None of Donald Trump’s five children were present when his candidacy was announced Tuesday from his residence in Mar-a-Lago, Florida.
