Ivanka Trump has kept her head down in Florida instead of joining her father as he leads the final stretch of the election campaign.
The former president’s daughter has been noticeably absent from his events, still not leaving to work for him with just four days to go.
While Donald Trump was three hours late for a rally in Traverse City, Michigan, on Friday, she was on her way to the synagogue with her family.
Ivanka, 42, was spotted late Friday afternoon with her husband Jared Kushner and their daughter Arabella Rose, 13, and son Joseph Frederick, 11.

They were headed to a synagogue in Surfside, Miami, to celebrate the Jewish holiday of Simchat Torah, which marks the conclusion of the annual cycle of public Torah readings.
Ivanka, who converted to Judaism before her marriage, and Kushner have a second son, Theodore James, 8, but he did not appear to be with them.
The former first daughter wore a white cotton dress, split to the thigh, and flats – almost identical to Arabella’s outfit.
Joseph hobbled along on a skateboard, sensibly wearing a helmet along with a white polo shirt, gray shorts and bright red sneakers.
Kushner didn’t get the memo about the white outfit and instead wore a blue polo shirt with gray pants and sneakers.

Ivanka promised two years ago that she would not be part of Trump’s election campaign, despite being regularly used in his first two campaigns.
‘I love my father very much. This time I choose to prioritize my young children and the private life we create as a family. I have no intention of being involved in politics,” she told Fox News in 2022.
“Although I will always love and support my father, in the future I will also do so outside the political arena.
“I am grateful to have had the honor of serving the American people and will always be proud of many of our government’s achievements.”
Ivanka served as an adviser to Trump during his four years in office and was named head of the newly created Office of Economic Initiatives and Entrepreneurship.
She led a delegation to India to promote women’s entrepreneurship and spoke out against human trafficking at the UN General Assembly.

Uniquely among Trump’s immediate family, Ivanka said she did not believe her father’s lie that the 2020 election was “stolen,” and that accepted claims of voter fraud had “zero basis.”
However, she insisted her relationship with her father ‘has not changed and will never change’
“I have had many roles over the years, but that of daughter is one of the most basic and consequential,” she said.
“I’m enjoying this time with my children, living in Miami and the freedom and privacy now that I’ve returned to the private sector.”
