What Ivanka Did This Week: Hanging With The New Kanye
What Ivanka Did This Week is a weekly column that explores what Ivanka Trump, first daughter and adviser to President Donald Trump, does all day.
Ivanka's schedule has not been made public, so each week, we will do our best to cover the public events and forums she attends, the meetings she has with lawmakers and government officials, and her social media presence.
Sunday, October 7
• Ivanka and her husband Jared Kushner ran the Army 10-Miler race in D.C.
Monday, October 8
• Ivanka shared a Detroit News opinion piece about Michigan Gov. Rick Snyder signing an executive order declaring that ex-offenders do not have to check the criminal history box on job applications.
An important step in ensuring ex-offenders’ successful re-entry into our society + economy.

• After UN Ambassador Nikki Haley abruptly resigned from her role, speculation swirled that Ivanka would take it over. However, Ivanka quickly shut that rumour down, tweeting, "It is an honour to serve in the White House alongside so many great colleagues and I know that the President will nominate a formidable replacement for Ambassador Haley. That replacement will not be me."
