Ivanka Trump is “warming” to the idea of taking on a role in the White House if her father Donald Trump wins the presidency in November, according to a new report.

Puck’s Tara Palmeri reported, citing someone familiar with the matter, that the former president’s daughter, who served in his first administration, is “warming to the idea of trying to be helpful” again. The source told Palmeri that Ivanka Trump is “privately not ruling out having some sort of role.”

“She’s not like ‘Hell no’ anymore,” the person said.

Ivanka Trump served as an advisor in her father’s administration, but announced in 2022 that she was leaving politics behind even though her father is running again.

“This time around, I am choosing to prioritize my young children and the private life we are creating as a family. I do not plan to be involved in politics,” she said at the time.

Ivanka Trump’s husband, Jared Kushner, also served as a senior advisor in Trump’s administration, helping to negotiate the Abraham Accords. He too has mostly kept away from politics. He launched an investment firm that raised billions from Saudi Arabia’s sovereign wealth fund after leaving the White House. Hundreds of millions more comes from Qatar and the United Arab Emirates. The source said he’s less enthused than his wife about a return to D.C. politics.

Palmeri reported that Ivanka Trump has been advised to wait to make a full dive back onto the Trump team until the GOP convention this summer.

A spokesperson for the couple said in a statement that both are still committed to being in the private sector currently.

“As they’ve both repeatedly stated, Ivanka and Jared continue to focus on their family and lives in the private sector and do not intend to go back to politics,” the spokesperson said.
