Chelsea Clinton and Ivanka Trump: Many parallels, one key difference
Chelsea Clinton and Ivanka Trump have been friendly for years, but when it comes to the presidential campaign, it's family first.
This week, Chelsea challenged a part of Ivanka's convention speech that proposed things her father would do for equal pay, reports CBS News correspondent Julianna Goldman.
"As president, my father will change the labor laws that were put in place at a time when women were not a significant portion of the workforce and he will focus on making quality childcare affordable and accessible for all," Ivanka said.
Chelsea bluntly weighed in when asked about those remarks during a Facebook live event with Glamour magazine.
"How would your father do that given it's not something he's spoken about, there are no policies on any of those fronts that you just mentioned on his website," Chelsea said.
Tonight, Chelsea will introduce her mother, Hillary Clinton, as she accepts her party's nomination, just as Ivanka did for her father, Donald Trump, at the Republican Convention last week.
"They are both highly impressive," said Joanna Coles, editor-in-chief of Cosmopolitan magazine. "Ivanka, in particular, is being used to make her father more attractive to women voters at the moment who we know at the moment, don't find him appealing. Chelsea also has a challenge because we know that young female voters were really compelled by Bernie Sanders."
