Donald Trump was joined by his glamorous daughter on stage for the first time this campaign as he declared victory in the US election.
Ivanka Trump, 43, made an appearance at her father’s Mar-a-Lago election party to witness the Republican leader’s astonishing political comeback.
President-elect Trump had a huge circle of support with him on stage, including from his other daughter Tiffany, 31, his sons Eric, 40, and Donald Trump Jr, 46 and his granddaughter Kai, 17.
The Republican leader’s daughters-in-law, Lara Trump, the wife of Eric, and Kimberly Guilfoyle, Donald Trump Jr’s fiancée, were also in attendance.
Wearing a blue velvet suit, Ivanka beamed alongside her husband, Jared Kushner, as she listened to her father declare: ‘Frankly this was, I believe, the greatest political movement of all time.’
Mr Trump thanked his ‘beautiful wife’ Melania, who was stood by his side, and his ‘amazing’ children.
He said: ‘I want to thank my whole family, my amazing children – and they are amazing children. Now we all think our children are amazing. Everybody here thinks their children are amazing – but that’s a good thing when you think they are. But Don, Eric, Ivanka, Tiffany, Baron, Lara, Jared, Kimberly, Michael – thank you all.’

It comes amid rumours that Ivanka is considering a return to politics.
Ivanka and her husband have remained noticeably absent from Trump’s campaign, with some even mocking Ivanka when she posted the 16 lessons she has learned as she turned 43 just hours before the election, while her siblings were out campaigning.
She had earlier vowed to stay away from politics, after she and Kushner became two of the former president’s most trusted advisers and principal gatekeepers during his first administration.
But sources have suggested the former First Daughter may once again stand by her father’s side if he retakes the White House.
Following Trump’s loss in the 2020 election, Ivanka and Jared decided to lay low in Miami with their three young children.
Ivanka concentrated on her role as a mother and on her old socialite lifestyle, earning her way back into the good books of pro-Democrat celebrity circles.
Meanwhile, Jared concentrated on making lots of money from investors in foreign countries, people he’d met while in government and who have since piled millions into his private equity firm.
The former First Daughter later released a carefully-worded statement after failing to attend her father’s announcement in November 2022 that he would once again run for president.

Trump’s granddaughter Kai shared this tweet from the celebration, posting: ‘No one works harder or cares more about the American people. Congratulations Grandpa, I love you!’
‘I love my father very much,’ she said at the time. ‘This time around, I am choosing to prioritize my young children and the private life we are creating as a family.
‘I do not plan to be involved in politics.’
Ivanka listened to her father telling the crowd at West Palm Beach: ‘Look what happened – is this crazy?’ – adding: ‘I want to thank the American people for the extraordinary honour of being elected your 47th president.
‘I will fight for you and your family and your future, every single day I will be fighting for you with every breath in my body.’
But she appeared to be on the sidelines as Trump’s daughter-in-law Lara flanked him alongside Melania.
As Trump told the American people he had ‘made history’, Lara stood proudly to his right, wearing a long sleeved sheer black top and black slacks.
Trump’s granddaughter Kai quickly congratulated the Republican leader on his victory, sharing a photo of them at Mar-a-Lago with the caption: ‘No one works harder or cares more about the American people. Congratulations Grandpa, I love you!’
Kai has surfaced as a social media sensation, largely due to the quality of her golf game.
