The Trump family joined the Republican candidate on stage one day before the election with two notable absences: his wife Melania and his daughter Ivanka.
Donald Trump Jr., Eric Trump, Lara Trump and Tiffany Trump spoke at the former president’s rally in Reading, Pennsylvania, on Tuesday.
Both Lara and Tiffany attempted to appeal to female voters, as pollsters suggested a huge gender gap and female support could propel Kamala Harris to victory.
However, Melania has not been seen since Trump’s infamous Madison Square Garden rally last week and Ivanka has stayed away from the campaign since the beginning.
The 43-year-old businesswoman published a long list of 16 life lessons on her Instagram page on Monday afternoon in honor of her birthday, which was October 30.
While much of the Trump family continues to openly support Donald’s bid to win Tuesday’s election, his wife Melania and daughter Ivanka are absent.
Donald Trump Jr., Eric Trump, Lara Trump and Tiffany Trump spoke at the former president’s rally in Reading, Pennsylvania, on Tuesday, but Melania and Ivanka were nowhere to be found.
At no point in the publication did she mention her father – for whom she worked in the White House as an advisor – or the upcoming elections.
Ivanka has not participated in her father’s campaign this year.
Her husband, Jared Kushner, recently said there was “zero chance” she would work to support her father in the run-up to the end of the campaign.
Her new Instagram posts also come just days after she took her oldest daughter, Arabella, 13, to Taylor Swift’s Eras Tour concert in Miami, Florida.
The duet was after Trump lamented: ‘I HATE TAYLOR SWIFT!’ on his social media website Truth Social last month.
He made the statement five days after Swift said in a lengthy Instagram post that she would vote for Harris in November.
Melania has also been seen infrequently on the campaign trail, aside from her speech in Manhattan in late October.
The former First Lady, 54, who has been largely absent from Trump’s campaign this election cycle, joined an all-star cast at Madison Square Garden ahead of the US presidential election.
Both Lara and Tiffany attempted to appeal to female voters, as pollsters suggested a huge gender gap and female support could propel Kamala Harris to victory.
Ivanka Trump hasn’t been seen much on her father’s campaign trail this year, seen here with her husband, Jared Kushner, and stepmother Melania, at the 2024 Republican National Convention.
In what was one of her first appearances on the campaign trail, Tesla CEO Elon Musk introduced her on stage and emerged to a standing ovation as he defiantly told the crowd: “New York City and America need recover its magic.”
Melania, dressed in a black and white animal print jacket, only spoke for five minutes, but her speech focused more on a vision for the country and less on politics, while her husband said it would be an ‘honor’ to win New York and warned that voting for Kamala Harris is a “gamble” that could “cost millions of lives” and lead to “World War III.”
It was an unusual and surprising move by the former first lady, who has made clear her disdain for politics. He attended the Republican National Convention but did not speak. He did not attend any of the presidential debates.
Their absences come as former President Trump’s daughter-in-law, Lara Trump, joined him for a rally in the swing state in Reading, Pennsylvania, on Monday afternoon.
Donald Trump’s sons, Eric and Don Jr., were also present.
Lara opened the rally alongside a group of women, including Dance Moms star Kira Girard, who told the crowd that Trump is leading “the greatest comeback ever,” according to Fox 56.
“Tomorrow is not the end,” Lara said during the rally, according to the outlet.
‘Tomorrow is just the beginning. It will be Donald J. Trump who restores the American dream for the United States of America.’
Ivanka’s husband, Jared Kushner, recently said there was “zero chance” his wife would work to support her father in the run-up to the end of the campaign.

His daughter Tiffany made a post on social media explaining claims she felt should be debunked about her father.
“Some points to reiterate as you head to the voting booth: 1. Project 2025 is NOT my father’s plan,” he wrote.
‘He hasn’t read it and doesn’t endorse it. 2. My father will NOT sign a national abortion ban. 3. My father is a huge supporter of IVF and wants to make it accessible to anyone who needs it. Get out and VOTE!’ he urged in his message.
