Ivanka Trump stands by her father’s side after the horrific attack on his life.
The former eldest daughter met Donald Trump upon his arrival in Bedminster, New Jersey, on Saturday night after the attempted assassination.
The two are extremely close. She spoke to him on the phone while he was in hospital Saturday night, sources close to the campaign told DailyMail.com.
“She is currently in Bedminster, where she has been living mainly over the summer, and she met him when he arrived last night and this morning,” the source said.

Ivanka will join the former president and the rest of the family in Milwaukee on Thursday when Donald Trump officially accepts the Republican presidential nomination.
Following the horrific attack on her father, Ivanka thanked her supporters on social media and said she was “praying for America” after the act of “senseless violence.”
She also thanked the Secret Service for their response in capturing the shooter.
“I love you, Dad, today and always,” the former First Daughter wrote on X.
Ivanka added: “Thank you for your love and prayers for my father and for the other victims of today’s senseless violence in Butler, Pennsylvania.
“I am grateful to the Secret Service and all other law enforcement officials for their swift and decisive actions today. I continue to pray for our country.”
She also said she was convinced that her mother Ivana was watching over her father.
“Today marks two years since my mother passed away. I believe she was watching over my father last night during the attempt on his life. I miss her every day and pray for the safety of the family and friends she left behind,” Ivanka wrote on social media Sunday morning.
Trump returned to his New Jersey home — where he is spending the summer — after being released from the hospital. He and the rest of his family have homes on the grounds of his Trump Bedminster golf club.
He was slightly injured in the shooting: a bullet grazed his right ear and blood ran down his face.
