The announcement was made out of Trump's Mar-a-Lago, Florida waterfront estate.
“I do not plan to be involved in politics. While I will always love and support my father, going forward I will do so outside the political arena," Ivanka wrote in an Instagram post. Ivanka served as an adviser to the president when Trump was president from 2016-2020. Ivanka wrote, “I love my father very much. This time around, I am choosing to prioritize my young children and the private life we are creating as a family. I do not plan to be involved in politics.”
Ivanka's husband, a businessman and investor served as senior advisor to the president from 2016-2020. After Trump exited the White House, she and her husband moved to a private mansion in Florida. She recently testified before the January 6 committee, the special congressional panel investigating the insurrection at the US Capitol in 2021. Supporters of Trump, marched towards Capitol Hill, attempting to overturn his 2020 election defeat.
