Ivanka Trump attends UFC fight with Donald Trump after MAGA rally
Ivanka Trump had previously made it clear that she would not be involved in former President Donald Trump's 2024 presidential campaign.
That seemed to even include instances of the two being photographed together, the last of which occurred at the funeral for former first lady Melania Trump's mother earlier this year.
However, Ivanka, Donald Trump's oldest daughter, was seen smiling alongside him at a recent UFC event, the Daily Mail reported.
The photo came in the wake of Donald Trump's dominant string of victories on Super Tuesday, when he won all but one state, cementing his status as the GOP nominee and forcing his last opponent, Nikki Haley, out of the race.

The Mail noted:
There were rumors of the two having dinner together in June 2023 for Trump's birthday, but before Saturday night, Ivanka and Donald were last pictured together at Tiffany Trump's wedding in November 2022.
The former president has made appearances at several UFC fights, as UFC president Dana White is a public supporter of Trump. The former president was joined by Trump at the fight.
At a recent Rome, Georgia rally, Donald Trump semi-jokingly compared the UFC to the world of politics, and praised White for how he runs the successful business.
"Dana White has done a great job. I hope he doesn't run for office against me. He's done a fantastic job. It's an easier business than politics," Trump said.
"It's the closest thing I can see really reflective of the election process that we have in this country, the UFC fights," Trump said at the MAGA rally. "That may be a little tamer than the election business."
Trump's critics have relentlessly attacked the former president over the lack of appearances by Melania and Ivanka. Questions about both have recently been put to rest by Mr. Trump.
Clearly, he has his family's full support, and it's perfectly reasonable and acceptable that Ivanka Trump -- and Melania -- have other priorities in their lives at this time -- namely their children.
Social media users reacted positively to the photo of Mr. Trump and his daughter at the UFC fight.
"So after giving an energetic speech at a rally, he still has energy to attend a ringside fight with his daughter, Ivanka! Amazing! Gotta love this man!" one X user wrote.
