Ivanka Trump is on the sidelines while a new ‘right-hand woman’ takes center stage with Donald and Melania

Donald Trump’s glamorous daughter-in-law Lara has secured her place as the president’s right-hand man after months of brutal campaigning.

When Trump’s nearest and dearest joined him on stage in the early hours of Wednesday to announce victory over Kamala Harris, it was Lara who turned heads.

Daughter Ivanka, 78, has stepped back from politics after being heavily involved in her father’s two previous campaigns, allowing ‘ambitious’ Lara to step up.

However, on Wednesday morning she was seen back on stage, albeit sideways, amid rumors that she wants to re-enter politics after her Trump’s convincing victory.

On Wednesday, as Trump told the American people he had “made history,” Lara stood proudly to his right, wearing a sheer black long-sleeved top and black pants.

When Trump’s loved ones joined him on stage in the early hours of Wednesday to announce victory over Kamala Harris, it was Lara who turned heads.

Republican voters flooded social media with praise for the new MAGA star, noting that she “deserves so much credit for this win” after “saving the Republican party.”

“Lara Trump deserves praise for her continued dedication and hard work. She has proven to be a powerhouse and shows up with integrity and focus day in and day out,” one supporter wrote.

Lara, 41, is married to Trump’s son Eric, and has campaigned tirelessly on her father-in-law’s behalf since he became the Republican nominee.

The former television producer is co-chairman of the Republican National Committee and has risen within the family during the campaigns, often appearing at her father-in-law’s rallies.

She was central to Trump’s relief efforts in North Carolina after the devastation of Hurricane Helene, and has been sounding the alarm for months about Harris as a woman who “failed upward.”

On Tuesday evening, Eric congratulated his wife on her efforts during the campaign.

“You put your heart and soul into the job and proved them all wrong,” he wrote alongside a photo of him and his wife as votes were counted.

The daughter of 78-year-old Ivanka stepped back from politics during this campaign after standing by his side during his last presidential election, paving the way for Lara to step up.

During his 2016 victory speech, Ivanka took center stage with her father and gave a preview of the crucial role she would play during his first presidential term.

She and her husband Jared Kushner became two of Trump’s most trusted advisers and key gatekeepers during his first administration.

But the couple was noticeably absent from this campaign, vowing to stay away from politics and focus on their family in Miami.

But even from the sidelines of the stage, Ivanka looked glamorous in a bright blue matching pantsuit and bold red lip.

Even from the sidelines of the stage, Ivanka still managed to steal the show on Wednesday morning in a bright blue matching pantsuit and bold red lip.

“We made history tonight for a reason, and the reason is that we overcame obstacles that no one thought possible,” Donald Trump said during the speech.

“And it is now clear that we have achieved the most incredible political result.”

Trump suggested during the speech at Mar-a-Lago that God spared his life during the July assassination attempt at his Butler rally.

“Many people have told me that God spared my life for a reason: and that reason was to save our country and make America great again. And now we will fulfill that mission together,” he said.

Trump also thanked his wife Melania for being by his side and raving about her best-selling, untitled memoir.

Melania appeared happy on stage, wearing a gray suit as she stood next to her husband.

Trump’s 18-year-old son Barron towered over the rest of Trump supporters on stage, hours after voting for the first time.

His mother shared a photo of Barron as he headed to the voting booths in Florida and told voters at X that she was “proud” he had the opportunity to vote for his father.

Vice President-elect JD Vance spoke for many when he said the outcome marked a remarkable turnaround in political fortunes.

“I thank you for the trust you placed in me,” he said, “and I believe we have just witnessed the greatest political comeback in the history of the United States of America.

‘We are also going to make the biggest economic comeback.’

The path to victory became clear for Trump around 11:25 p.m., when North Carolina was officially called for Trump.

From there, a second swing state in Georgia turned red, and Pennsylvania later followed suit, preventing Harris from seizing power.
