Donald Trump’s daughter Ivanka appears to have backed down from her decision to retire from politics amid her rising popularity ratings.
Ivanka, 41, who served as Trump’s White House adviser alongside her husband Jared Kushner, said she was retiring from politics in November to spend more time with her family.
But members of Trump’s inner circle said his eldest daughter and son-in-law had recently resurfaced backstage, according to vanity lounge.
Rumors of their renewed involvement in his 2024 campaign began swirling after they were spotted among the MAGA elite at a private event at Trump Golf Club in Bedminster last month.
Since then, the pair have been seen “much more frequently” at political networking and campaign events — ostensibly as family members rather than in an official advisory capacity — as Trump’s ratings rise.

In mid-November last year, Ivanka said she would not participate in her father’s bid for the White House in 2024, saying she planned to focus on her children instead.
“They’ve been spotted more frequently this summer,” a top campaign strategist told Vanity Fair. “They made it clear they were supportive. They come to meetings to say hello.
A former Trump official also told the magazine that Kushner, 42, whose private equity firm Affinity Partners relies on Saudi investments, “needs to protect his turf, especially in the Middle East.”
“Now that the president is 40 points ahead, Jared is of course pretending to be involved,” they said. “If he’s president again, Jared needs to protect his turf, especially in the Middle East.”
In mid-November last year, Ivanka said she would not participate in her father’s bid for the White House in 2024, saying she planned to focus on her children instead.
“I love my dad very much,” she said in her Instagram announcement.
“This time around, I choose to prioritize my young children and the privacy we create as a family.
“While I will always love and support my father, in the future I will do so outside of the political arena.”
Although Kushner attended Trump’s campaign launch the same month, Ivanka was noticeably absent as Trump drew attention to other family members in the room, including his wife, former first lady Melania Trump. and his second son Eric.

Younger son Barron, along with Eric’s wife, Lara, and Donald Trump Jr.’s fiancée, Kimberly Guilfoyle, were also the focus of Trump’s Mar-a-Lago ballroom announcement.
Donald Trump Jr. missed the speech due to a flight hiccup while returning to Florida from a hunting trip.
At the time, Trump’s political popularity was waning as many of the candidates he had endorsed midterm, including Kari Lake and Doug Mastriano, lost seats in former Republican strongholds.
Meanwhile, his biggest rival, Ron DeSantis, appeared to be rapidly gaining ground on Trump with a 10-point re-election victory.
But as the tides have changed and Trump’s popularity is on the rise, Ivanka and Jared appear to be looking to resume their roles as White House supporters.
Their prior involvement in his administration proved lucrative for Kushner in the months that followed.

Six months after leaving the White House in 2020, Kushner secured a $2 billion investment from a fund headed by Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, who was a close ally during Trump’s tenure.
He landed the massive deal despite Affinity Partners – which only launched in 2021 – being flagged by the Saudi sovereign wealth fund’s selection panel as ‘inexperienced’ and ‘unsatisfactory in all aspects’ of its operations.
Kushner and the Saudi prince named each other in text messages and calls for years during Trump’s tenure, according to The New York Times.
Their communications continued even after the October 2018 murder of Saudi journalist Jamal Khashoggi, 59, who was ambushed and killed by Saudi agents.
