During Donald Trump’s first term, Ivanka Trump served as a key advisor, leading the Office of Economic Initiatives and Entrepreneurship to promote women’s economic empowerment, job creation, and workforce development. As her father prepares for a potential second term, Ivanka has chosen not to take a governmental role, citing the personal toll of political life, especially on her children. She aims to support her father as a daughter, focusing on
family rather than politics, and believes the presidency is an isolating role. While stepping back from the administration, Ivanka plans to continue impactful work and has appeared at select events, like Trump’s March 5th Joint Address to Congress. Melania Trump also noted she will balance her roles as mother, First Lady, and wife, splitting time between New York and Palm Beach.
