President-elect Donald Trump’s eldest daughter, Ivanka, released a statement on social media Thursday, just four days ahead of her father’s inauguration as the 47th President of the United States.
Ivanka Trump, 43, and her husband, Jared Kushner, 44, were both actively involved in the first Trump administration, but have stepped away from politics completely since he left office four years ago.
The couple have three children together. Their youngest was just a baby when Trump was elected the first time in 2016.
However, Ivanka confirmed her full support for her father in her statement on Thursday. In a series of posts, she shared multiple photos from the early days of the first Trump administration, and wrote:
As the Inauguration approaches, I find myself filled with gratitude as I reflect on special moments with my father and family from eight years ago, when we first stepped off Air Force One upon arriving in Washington, D.C.

Witnessing my father become the 45th President of the United States, lighting Shabbat candles with Jared in the Lincoln Bedroom on Inauguration Day, watching Theodore crawl for the first time in the White House State Dining Room, and seeing Arabella sneak through the secret door of the Resolute Desk are memories I will cherish forever.
I look forward to watching my father take the oath of office again as the 47th President of the United States. I am proud of his unwavering strength and resilience and am excited to celebrate this historic milestone alongside him once more.

In a recent Him & Her podcast interview, when asked about any potential plans to return to the White House, Ivanka confirmed she will not be involved this time, and said firmly, “I hate politics.”
“There is a darkness to that world that I don’t really want to welcome into mine,” Ivanka continued. “I love policy and impact. I hate politics. And unfortunately, the two are not separable.”
“To some degree, I’m at the center of the storm because my father is about to be president, but it’s a very dark, negative business. And some people love the gladiator aspect of it — the fight. That was never me,” she added.
