Kushner told The Times that if Trump is elected, he doesn’t expect “a major shift in terms of what we prioritize.”

Kushner told The Times that Ivanka “made the decision when she left Washington that she was closing that chapter of her life.”

“And she has been remarkably consistent,” Kushner added.

“I love my father very much. This time I choose to prioritize my young children and the private life we create as a family. I have no intention of being involved in politics,” Ivanka told Fox News Digital after she skipped Trump’s 2024 campaign launch.

“While I will always love and support my father, I will do so outside the political arena in the future,” she added.

Kushner’s fund has received at least $112 million in fees from foreign investors such as Saudi Arabia since 2021. The times September reported.

“Politics is a rough, rough business and I don’t think you can get involved in it. I think you either have to be all in or all out,” Ivanka told the podcaster. Lex Fridman in an episode that aired in July.

“There’s a lot of darkness, a lot of negativity, and it’s just really at odds with what feels good to me as a human being,” she added.
