Donald Trump is currently leading the GOP nomination race, significantly outpacing Ron DeSantis and all other Republican contenders. However, this was not the case in the fall of 2022 when a poll indicated that 65 percent of voters believed Trump should not consider running for president again.
At the same time, Trump’s daughter Ivanka, who has frequently been a focal point in the media, declared her retirement from politics. She stated, “This time around, I am choosing to prioritize my young children and the private life we are creating as a family.” She also clarified that while she will always support her father, her involvement would no longer be within the political sphere.
However, things have taken a turn according to a recent report from Vanity Fair. The report suggests that Ivanka and her husband, Jared Kushner, have been increasingly public, fueling speculation that they may play active roles in Trump’s 2024 campaign. A former official from the Trump administration conveyed to the publication, “Now that the president is 40 points ahead, of course, Jared is pretending he’s involved. If he’s president again, Jared needs to protect his turf, especially in the Middle East.”
Kushner and Ivanka are highly protective of their brands and likely would not want to be publicly associated with Trump if he were to be convicted on federal or state charges. But if Trump returns to the White House, Kushner and Ivanka’s calculus might change. “Everyone loves a winner!” a former Trump 2020 campaign adviser said.
It seems “The Slim Reaper,” as Jared is sometimes referred to, wishes to return to his former political activities, notorious as they were for his unwelcoming stance towards Secret Service agents using his facilities.
