Melania and Ivanka skip Trump’s last pitch across US swing states as pollsters warn women voters could lose him the race

The Trump family joined the Republican candidate on stage a day before the election, with two notable absences: wife Melania and daughter Ivanka.

Donald Trump Jr., Eric Trump, Lara Trump and Tiffany Trump all spoke at the former president’s rally in Reading, Pennsylvania, on Tuesday.

Lara and Tiffany both sought to appeal to female voters, as pollsters have suggested a huge gender gap exists and that female support could propel Kamala Harris to victory.

However, Melania hasn’t been seen since Trump’s infamous rally at Madison Square Garden last week and Ivanka has stayed off the campaign trail since the beginning.

The businesswoman, 43, posted a long list of 16 life lessons on her Instagram page Monday afternoon in honor of her birthday, which was Oct. 30.

At no point in her role did she mention her father — for whom she worked as a White House adviser — or the upcoming election.

Ivanka did not participate in her father’s campaign this year.

Her husband, Jared Kushner, recently said there was “zero chance” she would work to support her father ahead of the end of the campaign.

Her new Instagram posts also come just days after she took her eldest daughter, 13-year-old Arabella, to Taylor Swift’s Eras Tour concert in Miami, Florida.

The duo went after Trump and complained, “I HATE TAYLOR SWIFT!” on his social media website Truth Social last month.

He made the statement five days after Swift said in a lengthy Instagram post that she would vote for Harris in November.

Melania has also rarely been seen on the campaign trail, aside from her speech in Manhattan in late October.

The former First Lady, 54, who has been largely absent from Trump’s campaign this election cycle, joined a star-studded cast at Madison Square Garden ahead of the US presidential election.

Lara and Tiffany both sought to appeal to female voters, as pollsters have suggested a huge gender gap exists and that female support could propel Kamala Harris to victory.

In what was one of her first appearances on the campaign trail, she was introduced on stage by Tesla CEO Elon Musk and received a thunderous standing ovation as she defiantly told the crowd, “New York City and America have their magic back.” .

Melania, wearing a black and white animal print jacket, spoke for just five minutes, but her speech focused more on a vision for the country and less on politics, while her husband said it would be an “honor” to visit New York win. York and warned that voting for Kamala Harris is a “gamble” that could “cost millions of lives” and lead to “World War III.”

It was a rare and stunning move from the former first lady, who has been clear about her disdain for politics. She went to the Republican National Convention but did not speak. She did not attend either presidential debate.

Their absence comes as former President Trump’s daughter-in-law, Lara Trump, joined him for a swing state rally in Reading, Pennsylvania, on Monday afternoon.

Donald Trump’s sons, Eric and Don Jr., were also there.

Lara opened the meeting alongside a group of women — including Dance Moms star Kira Girard — who told the audience that Trump is leading “the greatest comeback of all time,” according to Fox 56.

“Tomorrow is not the end,” Lara said during the meeting, according to the outlet.

‘Tomorrow is just the beginning. It will be Donald J. Trump who restores the American dream for the United States of America.”

Ivanka’s husband, Jared Kushner, recently said there was “zero chance” his wife would work to support her father ahead of the end of the campaign.

Daughter Tiffany posted on social media explaining the claims about her father that she said needed to be debunked.

“A few points to reiterate as you head to the voting booth: 1. Project 2025 is NOT my father’s plan,” she wrote.

‘He has not read it and does not endorse it. 2. My father will NOT sign a national abortion ban. 3. My father is very supportive of IVF and wants to make it accessible to everyone who needs it. Get out there and VOTE!” she insisted in her message.
