It’s no secret at this point that Ivanka Trump and Jared Kushner’s actions after their life at the White House couldn’t be more different. While Ivanka has mostly seemed to stand firm on staying out of politics and focusing on her family life, Kushner has still dabbled in the political world. And this new piece of information shows, yet again, how different Ivanka and Kushner are in their post-White House life.

While Kushner isn’t technically a part of his father-in-law Donald Trump’s 2024 presidential campaign, that doesn’t mean he isn’t pulling strings whenever he can. As reported by The Washington Post, Kushner has shown quite a few under-the-radar instances of support for Donald. For instance, he recently helped arrange an interview for Donald with the Spanish-language network Univision since he’s close with one of the top executives, Bernardo Gómez Martínez.

After this report came out, Northeastern University political science professor, Costas Panagopoulos, told Newsweek via MSN that he believes that “Kushner remains part of Trump’s inner circle.” He said, “Formally or informally, I expect he will continue to play a role in Trump’s political endeavors until Kushner either screws up or says or does anything that smacks of disloyalty to the former president.”

And while we’ve seen Ivanka show some support for her father by attending different events, she’s seemingly stood firm on not re-entering the world of politics.

Earlier this year, sources told People that the Trump Card author and Kushner were focusing on opposite acts in their new era. “…Ivanka has always been especially close to her father…But Ivanka does not want to be involved with the legal issues,” they said. “She is removed from it and has adapted well to Miami. Her whole family loves it.”

The source added, “Jared has lots of business going on in South Florida,” referring to his private equity business. So it seems he’s focusing on that, and his minor political acts of support over the past few months.
