President Donald Trump said Monday during a rally that his daughter, Ivanka, has no desire to run for office, according to Newsweek.
Trump and other republicans held the rally Monday night in Dalton, Georgia to show support and help Senators Kelly Loeffler and David Perdue in their runoff elections for U.S. Senate on Tuesday, Newsweek reported.
Ivanka, who is fairly popular among Trump supporters and has been an adviser to her father during his presidency, was called up to speak to the crowd. Trump thanked his son and girlfriend, Donald Trump Jr. and Kimberly Guilfoyle, then referred to Ivanka saying, “I also came with somebody who people like a lot. People like her a lot.”

Trump mentioned the idea of Ivanka running while at the Georgia rally, according to Newsweek, saying, “she doesn’t really like the concept of running for office.” Ivanka running for office has been speculated for a lot of her father’s term. Ivanka replied saying, “What do I need it for, dad?”
After the president called his daughter on stage, Ivanka called her father “the people’s president” and a “warrior.” She said that he would “never stop fighting” for them.
Trump has said in the past that his supporters could back Ivanka on run for the White House. Saying last year that people “want Ivanka,” according to Newsweek.
There has been talks of both Donald Jr. and Ivanka running in 2024, even though Donald Trump remains a favorite with the GOP, Newsweek reported.
