Her own words

In a 2022 social media post, she wrote: “I do not plan to be involved in politics.” In a July 2024 interview with Lex Fridman, she described politics as “a pretty dark world” and said: “it’s a really rough business.”

She told Fridman that her decision not to be involved in politics was rooted in being a parent. She has said she sees a range of ways to serve beyond politics.

Where she is now

Ivanka Trump and her husband Jared Kushner moved to Miami in 2021. Reports have said she has focused on family life, philanthropy, and issues such as food insecurity.
