Unlike Donald Trump's wife, Melania, Ivanka Trump has been at the forefront of her father's campaign from the onset — gracing numerous news networks and voicing her opinion in editorial pieces.

Raised under her father's spotlight, she has founded various organizations, spreading her influence beyond the high-profile real-estate acquisitions that The Trump Organization is known for.
