With Ivanka Trump, the typically minor role of first daughter could get a major makeover.
After she played a key role on the campaign trail, the next moves by President-elect Donald Trump’s 35-year-old daughter are being closely watched. She’s been attending her father’s transition meetings with high-profile figures from the Japanese prime minister to technology leaders and has indicated her interest in working on policy issues like child care.
An executive vice president at the Trump Organization, Ivanka Trump also owns her own company selling clothes and jewelry. While three of the president-elect’s adult children are viewed as close advisers, he often highlights Ivanka and has made clear that he’d love to have her with him when he moves into the White House.
Whether that would be in a formal or informal position is not clear. But Trump adviser Kellyanne Conway suggested this week that there may be an exception to anti-nepotism laws for Ivanka Trump and her husband, Jared Kushner, who runs a real estate and construction business.
Previous first daughters have played a social role in the White House. For example, during Harry Truman’s presidency, when Bess Truman was home in Missouri, her daughter, Margaret, would play hostess.
