(DCWatchdog.com) – One big question going into last night’s announcement by Donald Trump that he will run for the presidency again was whether his favorite daughter, Ivanka, would be at the Mar-a-Lago event and what role she’ll play in the campaign.
Both of those questions were quickly answered.
Ivanka Trump did not attend the announcement.
Ivanka Trump issued a statement saying she will not participate in her father’s presidential campaign. You can see a screen capture of her message further down this post.
As Politico notes today in “Ivanka Trump on dad’s announcement night: I’m done with politics“:
“Ivanka Trump, daughter of former President Donald Trump and a political adviser in his administration, doesn’t plan to be involved in politics ‘going forward,’ she wrote Tuesday evening on Instagram.
“‘While I will always love and support my father, going forward I will do so outside the political arena,’ Ivanka Trump said. Her statement came the same evening that the former president announced his plans to run for president again.” [emphasis added]
Ivanka explained more.
“‘This time around, I am choosing to prioritize my young children and the private life we are creating as a family,’ she said. ‘I do not plan to be involved in politics.'” [emphasis added]
