But four years later, she wasn't nearly as visible during the 2024 election — and now that her father is returning to the White House, Ivanka Trump is expressing no interest in having an official role in his second administration.

Instead, she has been prioritizing her own business activities over MAGA politics.

Former FBI official Andy McCabe was critical of a recent move by former special counsel Jack Smith while he was on his way out the door of the Justice Department.

U.S. Senator Katie Britt, elected in 2022, is the first woman Alabama voters have sent to the U.S. Senate. She gained national attention, and bipartisan criticism, after delivering the Republican response to President Joe Biden’s 2024 State of the Union Address. During her speech, Britt criticized President Biden’s immigration policies and referred to an incident involving human trafficking, suggesting in her remarks a woman had been sexually trafficked because of Biden's policies. However, as NBC News reported, the incident occurred two decades earlier, in Mexico, not in the United States.

Donald Trump has stopped talking about one of the central messages from his campaign since winning the election — and an analyst suggested that's a telling sign.

Arizona Attorney General Kris Mayes sent a letter to the U.S. Justice Department asking for the volume of Jack Smith's report dealing with the 2020 election.
