'Absent' Ivanka Trump called out after joining her dad for re-election celebration
Ivanka Trump joined her father at a re-election victory rally after being "conspicuously absent" from the campaign trail, according to reports.
Donald Trump's eldest daughter had stepped out of the political spotlight after his loss to Joe Biden, and she voluntarily testified before the House select committee investigating the Jan. 6 insurrection, but she joined his Election Night celebration, reported The Daily Beast.
"Having returned to life as an influencer/entrepreneur, Ivanka was true to her word," the website reported. "She was nowhere to be seen as her father mounted what had seemed an improbable comeback, bulldozing his way through the GOP primaries to take absolute control of the GOP, making only a brief appearance at the 2024 Republican National Convention."

She celebrated her own 43rd birthday on the eve of the election with a social media post derided as “self-help, word salad,” but she and husband Jared Kushner – also a former White House adviser – joined the party in south Florida.
"All seemed forgiven, however, as Ivanka and her husband finally turned up early Wednesday at her father’s victory rally at the West Palm Beach Convention Center, Ivanka smiling broadly without a hint of embarrassment as the 47th President of the United States paid tribute to all his 'amazing' children and their respective partners," The Beast reported. "Whether that was just a one-off family celebration, however, or marked a return to political life for Ivanka and her husband is an open question."
HuffPost also noted the emergence.
"Ivanka Trump and husband Jared Kushner largely kept their distance from Donald Trump’s campaign this time around, but took the stage with him when the Republican presidential nominee gave a victory speech early Wednesday," it reported on Wednesday.
