A harmless photo of Ivanka Trump without makeup may have provided a major hint that her father has mended his relations with Nikki Haley as the election winds down.
Haley, the former UN ambassador, endorsed former President Trump in May but has been absent from the election campaign, although she admits their personal relationship remains frosty.
However, several outlets recently reported that the Trump camp is courting Haley to help bolster the former president’s standing among women.
On Saturday, a thaw between Haley and Trump appeared to take shape when the former South Carolina governor liked an Instagram photo posted by Ivanka.
The former presidential advisor and First Daughter posted a makeup-free photo with her family celebrating the Jewish holiday of Sukkot.

On Saturday, a hint of the thaw between Haley and Trump could be seen when the former South Carolina governor liked a photo posted by Ivanka.
Haley was one of more than 100,000 people who liked the photo, which showed Ivanka with her husband Jared and their three children.
The Bulwark reported on Thursday about rumors of an approach to Haley.
“The details and dates for the joint appearance are not yet fully defined, but the two will most likely meet at a town hall at the end of the month,” said Marc Caputo.
The event could be hosted by Fox News and moderated by star host and Trump ally Sean Hannity.
Trump himself talked about bringing Haley on board in an interview with Fox & Friends on Friday.
“I’m going to do what I have to do,” he said, before adding that he beat Haley “badly” in the primary.
A new poll shows that Kamala Harris leads Donald Trump among women over 50 by more than any presidential candidate since 2016.
The poll shows that 54% of women in that demographic plan to vote for the vice president, up from 42% for Trump.
That’s a big improvement over Joe Biden, who in January only led Trump by three points among women over 50. The numbers are also better than Hillary Clinton’s in 2016, who got 48% to 40% better than Trump.
Haley said in September that she is willing to step forward to help Donald Trump if he wants to take advantage of her help despite his checkered past.
She was the last woman to oppose Trump in the 2024 primary election, with a crowded field of Republicans seeking to unseat the former president for a shot at the White House. He often spoke out against Trump and expressed his grievances and disagreements.

Former President Donald Trump dubbed Nikki Haley ‘bird brain’ and suggested her husband wanted to be away from her as they competed against each other in the Republican primaries earlier this year.
Previously, Haley served for nearly two years as Trump’s ambassador to the United Nations, from January 2017 to December 2018.
“He knows I’m on hold,” Haley said of Trump when asked if she was going out to campaign for the Republican candidate.
“I talked to him in June,” she told CBS Face the Nation host Margaret Brennan. “He’s aware that I’m ready if he ever needs me to do that.”
Haley said she was not asked to run in the general election when she was pressured if Trump came around.
‘That’s your choice. “He can, you know, whatever he decides to do with his campaign, he can do it,” he said. “But when I called him in June, I told him I supported him.”
“I think the teams have talked to each other a little bit, but there haven’t been any questions yet,” the former South Carolina governor said. “But you know, if he asks me, I’ll be happy to help you.”
Haley turned her delegates over to Trump after he dropped out of the primary race following lopsided losses on Super Tuesday. By winning primaries in Washington, D.C., and Vermont – both deep blue areas where even Republicans are more left-leaning – Haley became the first woman to win a state or territorial GOP primary race.
He endorsed Trump and said in May he would vote for the former president in November.
Haley served for nearly two years as Trump’s ambassador to the United Nations before running against him in the 2024 Republican primary.
Haley hosts a new SiriusXM show and said during the first episode that her audience shouldn’t expect to hear any niceties about Trump, even though the former UN ambassador has endorsed him.
The former South Carolina governor dropped out of the presidential race in early March – after a disappointing Super Tuesday – and waited until late May to give Trump the nod.
He told listeners “you won’t hear me say glowing things about Donald Trump’s personality.”
‘I haven’t forgotten what he said about me. “I haven’t forgotten what he said about my husband or his time on deployment or his military service,” Haley said.
While Haley was campaigning for the White House, her husband Michael was deployed to Africa as part of his service in the Army National Guard.
“I haven’t forgotten his campaign tactics, from putting a bird cage outside our hotel room to calling me ‘bird brain,'” he continued. “I haven’t forgotten any of that.”
Trump’s nickname for Haley was “bird brain” during the Republican primaries.
After DailyMail.com revealed new details about two alleged affairs Haley had in 2008, which she denied, Trump taunted Haley about her husband’s whereabouts during a campaign rally in February.
Kamala Harris only needs a few thousand Nikki Haley fans to support her and she could win key states in the November elections.

‘Where is your husband? Oh, it’s far away… What happened to your husband? Where is? She’s gone,” Trump said at a rally in South Carolina, Haley’s home state.
Trump appeared to address the alleged affairs, telling Michael Haley’s crowd: “He knew it, he knew it.”
Haley suggested that this behavior was to be expected because “politics is not for people with sensitive skin.”
“It’s just not,” he said.
After DailyMail.com reported on her alleged affairs, Haley’s campaign banned Mail reporters from covering future campaign events.
‘Daily Mail is not accredited for any further events. I ask you politely to leave,” Haley spokeswoman Chaney Denton told a reporter and photographer at a campaign event in New Hampshire in mid-January.
During the debut episode of her show that dropped Wednesday, Haley said she would “put the personal stuff aside” and be candid.
“I’m analyzing what will improve the country,” he said. ‘So that’s what you’re going to hear on the show. You’re just going to hear the truth.’
