Joe Biden wins: What next for Donald Trump’s children?

US 2020 election

The Trump presidency has been a family affair and, as Donald Trump’s star falls, his children find their futures looking uncertain too.

Ivanka Trump and her husband Jared Kushner are White House employees, senior advisers to the president and, come January, will be looking for new work.

When Mr Trump assumed office, he left his adult sons, Donald Jr and Eric, running the Trump Organization. If he were to decide to resume control of his business they may be less busy too.

It is not beyond the realms of possibility that Mr Trump’s exit from the White House will lead to the start of a Trump political dynasty. His children have all been loyal throughout and could try to assume the mantle, running for the Republican nomination in 2024.

For some time it was assumed – including by Mr Trump himself – that if the Trump torch was to be passed on it would go to Ivanka, who would seek to become the first woman president of the US.

Donald Trump Jr

But over the last four years, and particularly in the aftermath of the election, it is Mr Trump Jr who has emerged as his father’s most likely political successor.

The 42-year-old, the most conservative of the children, has embraced and amplified the president’s incendiary speaking style, calling for "total war" and a "fight to the death" over the election. 

He is almost as popular with the Trump base as his father, and even more outspoken on Twitter. One Trump aide described Mr Trump Jr as the "emotional centre of the MAGA universe".

Political candidates usually release books ahead of runs. Mr Trump Jr has released two recently – "Triggered" and "Liberal Privilege" – attacking Democrats and political correctness and portraying Joe Biden a a "swamp monster".

Ivanka Trump

When they took jobs in her father’s administration Ivanka and Mr Kushner uprooted their lives with their three children, moving from New York to Washington, where they rented a $5 million home around the corner from Barack and Michelle Obama.

Indications emanating from the White House are that they could return to their previous life in Manhattan, with Ms Trump, 39, reinvigorating her lifestyle brand, and Mr Kushner, also 39, re-engaging in the property business.

Ms Trump’s fashion business could be turbocharged by her increased global fame, but in New York City the couple could find a chilly society welcome and party invitations drying up. Two weeks ago, they threatened to sue after billboard adverts went up in Times Square linking them to the country’s coronavirus deaths.

A lawyer for the couple wrote to the Lincoln Project, a group of anti-Trump Republicans responsible for the adverts, calling them "false, malicious and defamatory".

After leaving the White House, Mr Kushner, who invested much of his energy in the Trump administration’s Middle East peace efforts, might be expected to continue working towards that goal in a private capacity.

Eric Trump

Eric Trump, 36, Mr Trump’s middle son, appears set to continue his role developing hotels, golf courses and apartment buildings. His wife Lara became very involved in campaigning for her father-in-law, and there has been speculation that she could run for office.

Tiffany Trump

The president’s daughter Tiffany Trump, 27, graduated from law college in May but has not given an indication of her future plans.

His own future destination, along with first lady Melania Trump and their son Barron, 14, is unclear, but would be expected to be either Florida or New York.
