Ivanka Trump to remain in Florida as profile of sister-in-law Lara Trump rises
Ivanka Trump is known for having previously served as a prominent adviser during her father's first term in the White House.
However, a new report claims that the president-elect's eldest daughter has decided to hand her position off to another family member.
"She is now focusing on being a mom and other private ventures"
According to the Daily Mail, Ivanka intends to stay away from Washington and will instead concentrate on raising her children in Florida.
"Her family means the world to her and she is now focusing on being a mom and other private ventures," an unnamed source was quoted as saying of Ivanka.

The source explained that Ivanka was particularly troubled by being confronted with a subpoena following the January 6 riot on Capitol Hill.
"She felt like she was being asked to reveal something she did not know anything about and she never wants to be in [that] position again," the source said.
Lara Trump takes center stage as RNC co-chair
Instead, the source indicated that Ivanka's sister-in-law, Lara Trump, will take on an active role in supporting President-elect Trump's new administration.
Lara Trump was elected earlier this year as co-chair of the Republican National Committee (RNC) where she serves alongside former North Carolina Republican Party leader Michael Whatley.
The Daily Mail's report is consistent with remarks which Ivanka Trump herself made when her father launched his reelection campaign two years ago.
"I love my father very much," Business Insider quoted her as saying. "This time around, I am choosing to prioritize my children and the private life we are creating as a family. I do not plan to be involved in politics."
Barron Trump helped his father decide which podcasts to go on
While Ivanka Trump is stepping back from politics, her youngest brother carried out an important job in their father's successful campaign.
An article written by Time magazine contributor Eric Cortellessa detailed how Barron Trump helped the president-elect decide which podcasts he should appear on.
"These young men didn't get their news from mainstream media and were less concerned with reproductive rights or democratic backsliding," Cortellessa wrote of male podcast listeners.
"When they did interact with politics, it was mostly through edgy bro podcasts and social media. They appreciated Trump’s brashness and habit of smashing norms," he went on to add.
