The dynamics within the Trump family could impact future Republican strategies and alignments.
If Trump loses the election, Ivanka and Kushner may further distance themselves from political affiliations to protect their business interests.
Kushner's potential Senate run in 2028 could lead to a resurgence of the Trump family's influence in politics, depending on the political landscape at that time.
Ivanka's absence may pave the way for Donald Trump Jr. to take a more prominent role in shaping the family's political legacy.
Ivanka Trump's Political Absence Raises Questions
Ivanka Trump, once a prominent figure in her father Donald Trump's political campaigns, has notably distanced herself from the political spotlight during the current election cycle. As Donald Trump faces a crucial battle against Democratic contender Kamala Harris, Ivanka's absence has sparked curiosity and speculation. According to a report by Le Figaro, Ivanka, who has a substantial following on social media, has been focusing on her personal life, sharing moments with her children and promoting her fitness routine rather than engaging in political discourse.
Reasons Behind Ivanka's Silence
Experts suggest that Ivanka's withdrawal from the political arena may be strategic. Romuald Sciorra, director at the US Political and Geostrategic Observatory, posits that both Ivanka and her husband Jared Kushner are keen on maintaining their professional independence, especially in light of potential electoral defeat for Trump. Their business interests, including Kushner's leadership of a $3 billion investment fund, could be jeopardized by close association with Trump's political endeavors. Furthermore, Ivanka has publicly stated her intention to prioritize family over politics, indicating a clear choice to step back from her previous role as a senior advisor during her father’s presidency.
Political Dynamics and Future Ambitions
The political landscape for the Trump family appears complex. Some analysts suggest that Ivanka and Kushner may have ambitions within the Republican Party, with Kushner potentially eyeing a Senate run in 2028. However, underlying tensions between Trump and Kushner could also play a role in their current political stance. Reports indicate that Trump has been critical of Kushner's more moderate approach to certain policies, particularly regarding Jewish settlements in the West Bank. As Ivanka's brother, Donald Trump Jr., takes a more active role in the campaign, it seems the family dynamics are shifting, with Ivanka's political presence waning in favor of her brother's involvement.
