Ivanka Trump has been absent from the 2024 campaign trail. Here’s what she’s been up to.

Donald Trump launched his 2024 presidential campaign in November 2022, but Ivanka Trump and Jared Kushner were not in attendance. Later that month, they chatted with Prime Minister Khalid bin Khalifa bin Abdulaziz Al Thani of Qatar at the FIFA World Cup in Lusail City.

Jared Kushner established ties with leaders in the Middle East through his work on the Abraham Accords, a 2020 agreement in which Bahrain and the United Arab Emirates normalized relations with Israel. After leaving the White House, he reportedly courted Saudi Arabia, Qatar, and the United Arab Emirates to invest in his private equity firm, Affinity Partners.

Kushner’s firm received $2 billion from Saudi-backed funds and was paid $87 million in fees from the Saudi government, according to the Senate Finance Committee, prompting its investigation into foreign governments’ dealings with Affinity Partners and their possible “leverage over the Trump family.”

“The terms of Affinity’s agreements with foreign clients create conflicts of interest involving members of a Presidential family that are unprecedented in size and scope,” Senate Finance Committee Chair Ron Wyden wrote in a letter to Affinity Partners in September.

Affinity Partners’ chief legal officer told The New York Times in a statement that the firm “has always acted appropriately and any suggestion to the contrary is false.”

Affinity Partners did not respond to a request for comment.

Kardashian’s birthday party was held at Funke, a restaurant in Los Angeles. Ivanka Trump wore a sequined crop top and matching skirt with a daring slit in a departure from her boardroom-ready White House style.

New York Attorney General Letitia James alleged that Donald Trump and the Trump Organization inflated its worth in annual net-worth statements to secure more favorable loans and insurance terms.

Ivanka Trump was dismissed from the case as a defendant but still testified as a witness about her role as a loan negotiator with the Trump Organization.

In February, Judge Arthur Engoron ruled that Trump and the Trump Organization must repay $355 million, writing in the verdict that “the frauds found here leap off the page and shock the conscience.” Donald Trump appealed the decision and has denied any wrongdoing.

The Trump Organization did not respond to a request for comment.

Ivanka Trump, wearing a sparkling Monique Lhuillier gown, posted photos with Kim Kardashian on Instagram from the event.

Amalija Knavs, a Slovenian immigrant who became a US citizen through sponsorship from her daughter, died at age 78. Her funeral was held in Palm Beach, Florida.

Ivanka Trump and Kushner also attended the NBA All-Star Game and the quarterfinals of the Miami Open.

Mukesh Ambani, who owns a 42% stake in Reliance Industries, ranks 17th on the Bloomberg Billionaires Index with an estimated net worth of $101 billion. The lavish pre-wedding celebration was held for Ambani’s son, Anant, and his fiancée, Radhika Merchant. Their actual wedding took place in July.

Ivanka Trump and Kushner attended the pre-wedding bash with their daughter, Arabella. Other celebrities and business executives at the party included Bill Gates, Mark Zuckerberg, and Sundar Pichai.

Carbone, an Italian restaurant popular with high-profile clientele, held a four-night pop-up event in Miami Beach ahead of the Miami Grand Prix. Tickets to the lavish event cost $3,000 each, the Miami Herald reported.

Ivanka Trump wore a Clio Peppiatt minidress that retails for $1,230, Page Six reported.

On an episode of the “Lex Fridman Podcast,” Ivanka Trump told Fridman that her decision was “rooted in me being a parent” and wanting to be present for her children.

“Politics is a rough, rough business, and I think it’s one that you also can’t dabble in. I think you have to either be all in or all out,” she said. “I know today the cost they would pay for me being all in — emotionally, in terms of my absence at such a formative point in their life — and I’m not willing to make them bear that cost.”

She also called politics a “pretty dark world” and said its negativity is “at odds with what feels good for me as a human being.”

Ivanka Trump released a statement after Donald Trump was wounded in an assassination attempt at a rally in Butler, Pennsylvania, on July 13.

“Thank you for your love and prayers for my father and for the other victims of today’s senseless violence in Butler, Pennsylvania,” she wrote. “I am grateful to the Secret Service and all the other law enforcement officers for their quick and decisive actions today. I continue to pray for our country. I love you Dad, today and always.”

Days later, she and Kushner joined Donald Trump and other members of the Trump family onstage after the former president accepted the Republican nomination on the final night of the Republican National Convention. She did not deliver a convention speech as she had in 2016 and 2020.

Ivanka Trump delivered 300 Starlinks — devices that enable high-speed internet connections — donated by SpaceX and Elon Musk for use by first responders.

“The devastation we witnessed today in Western North Carolina was heartbreaking,” she wrote on Instagram. “Hurricane Helene brought 16 inches of water (40 trillion gallons across its path) to the region within 24 hours, wiping out homes, buildings, highways, and sometimes whole communities. I was grateful to once again join my friends at CityServe, Love and Life, and Mercy Chefs on their mission to deliver crucial relief to first responders and families affected by the destruction.”
