Ivanka gives a senator a cold sweat
The question has tormented the American media since Donald Trump's defeat in the presidential election: what will become of Ivanka? Speculation about the future of the presidential adviser's career is rife. The most likely hypothesis would be for the young woman to go into politics, and Florida seems to be shaping up to be a favorable playing field. “Ivanka certainly has political ambitions, there is no doubt about it. She wants to come forward for something, but that remains to be determined, ”a source told CNN.
The young woman is in the process of settling with her husband, Jared Kushner, in Florida, a state that may offer her its fair share of possibilities. The American media are seeing Ivanka Trump running for Republican Marco Rubio's seat in the Senate. A staunch critic of Donald Trump during the Republican nomination contest in 2016, the senator went on to become a staunch supporter of the president. "I think she would be in the lead right away if she ran for the Senate against Rubio, given her father's popularity in Florida," said Adam C. Smith, former political reporter at the Tampa Bay Times now a consultant for Mercury Public Affairs.
"I like Ivanka"
This rumor gives a cold sweat to Marco Rubio, whose seat is clearly threatened by the young woman, reports the Guardian. Asked Sunday on Fox News about this, the Republican senator had a hard time hiding his discomfort: "Well, I, I, I am not too interested in the rumors of Washington," he began with reply. At the insistence of the journalist trying to get her to pronounce Ivanka Trump's name, Rubio ended up releasing a strange sentence: "I like Ivanka, and we worked very well together on some issues, and she is American." … ”, He replied before continuing by defending his record.
This was not the first time Marco Rubio had experienced a moment of loneliness in connection with Ivanka Trump. In June 2017, for example, he was photographed trying to give her a hug at the Capitol, but he got caught up in the wind. The image had, of course, gone viral on social media.
