Ivanka Trump left open the question of whether she would remain in the White House if her father is reelected to a second term as president.
“I am driven, first and foremost, by my kids and their happiness,” Trump, 38, said regarding her post-2020 plans during an interview on CBS’s Face the Nation that will air Sunday. “So that’s always going to be my top priority. And my decisions will always be flexible enough to ensure that their needs are being considered, first and foremost.”
“So they will really drive that answer for me,” she said. With her husband, Jared Kushner, Trump has three children: Arabella Rose, 8; Joseph Frederick, 6; and Theodore James, 3. Increasing the child tax credit has been an issue of key importance to her.

The first daughter went on to cite the policy accomplishments of President Trump’s administration that create “a pro-growth environment,” but she conceded the work is “always unfinished.”
She further explained how she is also driven by “being able to deliver for the forgotten men and women that I met over the course of two years as I campaigned around this country — and over the last two-and-a-half years, as I’ve traveled to almost every state in this nation. It’s about providing pathways to opportunity.”
Regarding whether she would ever seek political office herself, Ivanka Trump said, “Oh, gosh. You know, for me … the politics is truthfully less interesting [than] the policy and the impact of lifting communities and changing people’s lives.”
