Ivanka Trump spent years by her father's side, making her absence from her father's campaign launch noteworthy. Now she's revealed that, unlike Donald Trump, she will not be returning to the political arena.
"If she ever wanted to run for president, I think she'd be very, very hard to beat," then President Trump told the Atlantic in 2020.
The open question now is whether Trump can maintain his grip on the Republican party long enough to fulfil those ambitions, especially as rivals within the party attempt to take his place at the top.With Trump weakened after the Republicans' poor election results and preparing to take on Washington with a smaller inner circle, there is a possibility that his brand of politics lives on without his name attached.
Despite many predictions that they would walk away with control of both houses of Congress, they only won a slender majority in the lower chamber. "I have found it astonishing with how much confidence political analysts are asserting that Ron DeSantis will beat Trump, when DeSantis hasn't even said that he will run," Dr Shortis said.
