Trump Claims He Asked Ivanka, Husband Not To Be Part Of ’24 Campaign

More than a month after Ivanka Trump was a no-show at her father’s announcement that he would seek the presidency again, Donald Trump says he actually asked her and her husband Jared Kushner not to join his campaign.

Ivanka, who bore the title of senior presidential adviser during her father’s term in the White House, said in a November 15 statement that she decided not to participate, contradicting Trump’s new statement.

“Contrary to Fake News reporting, I never asked Jared or Ivanka to be part of the 2024 Campaign for President and, in fact, specifically asked them not to do it — too mean and nasty with the Fake & Corrupt News and having to deal with some absolutely horrendous SleazeBags in the world of politics, and beyond,” Trump wrote about the Truth Social platform.

“There has never been anything like this ‘ride’ before, and they should not be further subjected to it. I ran twice, getting millions more Votes the second time (RIGGED), & am doing it again!” He concluded.

The New York Post is a different story. reported Trump was elected in November “begged” both Ivanka and Kushner to join his campaign team while they were all at Tiffany Trump’s Mar-a-Lago wedding.

“Trump thought he could convince Ivanka this weekend to come back and campaign for him as she was the most requested speaker after the president himself last time around,” The Post quoted the following: “insider” It is a common saying.

“But so far she’s resisting his entreaties and holding firm, as is Jared. They both feel they got burned in Washington and don’t want to go back and expose themselves and their children to another bitter campaign.”

Ivanka for her part made it clear why she didn’t join the campaign.

“I love my father very much,” Ivanka stated, The Daily Wire reported November “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.”

“While I will always love and support my father, going forward I will do so outside the political arena,” She went on. “I am grateful to have had the honor of serving the American people and I will always be proud of many of our Administration’s accomplishments.”

Ivanka insists that she is close to her father, and that “hasn’t changed and will never change.”

“I’ve had many roles over the years but that of daughter is one of the most elemental and consequential,” She spoke. “I am loving this time with my kids, loving life in Miami and the freedom and privacy with having returned to the private sector. This has been one of the greatest times of my life.”

While talking about her three children — Arabella, 11, Joseph, 9, and Theodore, 6 — she said that they were at “critical ages” She wanted to be there for the fun “these moments with them.”

“We’re happy where we are right now, and we will continue to support my father — as his kids,” Ivanka also added.
