White House senior adviser Ivanka Trump is urging her father, US President Donald Trump, to concede the 2020 race to President-elect Joe Biden, the Daily Mail reports.
According to the British tabloid, Ivanka is worried that vocally backing the president’s unsubstantiated claims of illegal voting, as her brother Donald Trump Jr. has done, could jeopardize her political future.
“Ivanka has her own agenda. She’s has had her eyes on the desk behind the Oval Office since day one and she’s not about to burn any bridges by mouthing off like Don Jr. who keeps lashing out on Twitter,” the Daily Mail quotes “an insider with close ties to the Trump family” as saying.
The “insider” adds: “Everything she puts out is calculated and well thought out because she’s always looking at the big picture.”
The report came a day after the Associated Press said that Ivanka’s husband Jared Kushner had told others that he had approached Trump about conceding, but his entreaties have so far been in vain.
