Jared Kushner has revealed whether Ivanka Trump will help her father’s presidential campaign with less than a week to go.
Ivanka, 43, previously said she was stepping back from her father’s political work to “prioritize my children and the private life we create as a family” after skipping Donald Trump’s 2024 campaign launch .
But with less than a week to go, and following the fallout from Trump’s rally at Madison Square Garden, where a controversial comedian made a series of racist jokes that alienated Republicans and outraged Democrats, she was asked if she would join the wanted to join her father’s business to support him. the eleventh hour.

Kushner also seemed to suggest that his family’s material circumstances would change little if Trump or Harris won on November 5.
While “the world will clearly look different for us in the next four years with her father as president,” Mr. Kushner said, he saw “no major shift in terms of what we prioritize.”
“We’re rooting for him – obviously we’re proud of him,” he said. “But you know, either way, our lives will go on.”
Ivanka was given two government jobs by her father after he won the 2016 election, where he worked as an advisor and as head of the newly created Office of Economic Initiatives and Entrepreneurship.
She was not paid for her roles nor did she receive any benefits from the government.
After her father’s loss to Joe Biden in 2020, she stepped back from politics and in November 2022, when her father officially announced his presidential campaign, she said she would not help him.

She said at the time: ‘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 going into politics.
“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.”
