Many believe Ivanka Trump was former President Donald Trump’s “secret weapon.” After the former president announced his 2024 campaign and Ivanka revealed she was stepping back from politics, TMZ tweeted,“Donald Trump has lost his secret weapon — a key political ally who some say was the only person who could reason with him — his daughter. 

Ivanka has been labeled her father’s “secret weapon” for years.” At the 2016 Republican National Convention, Ivanka introduced her father. Yahoo News! reported that Ivanka was reassuring voters that they could trust Trump. During the 2016 RNC convention, Ivanka said, “He loves his family and he loves his country with his heart and his soul. I ask you to judge him by his results. Judge his values by the ideals he’s instilled in his children.” In 2016, Bloomberg TV heralded Ivanka, tweeting, “America met Donald Trump’s secret weapon this week, and her name is Ivanka.” But in 2022, after the January 6 insurrection, two impeachments, and stolen national security documents stored at Mar-a-Lago, is Ivanka still a secret weapon for the 76-year-old GOP candidate? The former president might need more than his oldest daughter this time around. The transformation of Ivanka from a White House advisor to a mom raising young children is a career shift, but maybe the elder Trump daughter can read the room. One politico tweeted, “When even @IvankaTrump isn’t on board with your #TrumpAnnouncement, it’s time to face reality.”
