Ivanka Trump tells Rubio she won’t run for his Senate seat

Associated Press  

WASHINGTON — Ivanka Trump will not be running for Florida Sen. Marco Rubio’s U.S. Senate seat in 2022 as she settles into life after Washington. The former president’s eldest daughter and ex-senior White House adviser spoke with Rubio several weeks ago and told him she would not be running for his seat, according to a Rubio campaign spokesperson. In a pair of friendly statements, Rubio and Ivanka Trump praised one another for their efforts together working on issues like paid family leave. “The challenges working moms and dads face in today’s economy are real, and Ivanka was a formidable and effective advocate for them.” “Marco has been a tremendous advocate for working families, a good personal friend, and I know he will continue to drive meaningful progress on issues we both care deeply about,” said Ivanka Trump.
