What’s Next
Ivanka and her husband Jared Kushner, served as senior advisers to the president during his first term, and despite taking a step back from the White House, they may still provide informal advice to Trump.
Maggie Cordish, one of Ivanka’s longtime friends told CNN she would likely serve as an “informal adviser.”
“Ivanka Trump is done with politics and says she isn’t coming back,” she said in an article published on Sunday. “She’s still his daughter, and a trusted voice, so in that sense an informal adviser, as we all are with our family members.”
