“We must seize this moment to elect Hillary Clinton as president of the United States of America”.

As daughters of Presidential nominees Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton, Ivanka Trump and Chelsea Clinton have been integral parts of their parents’ campaigns.
A 1993 New York Times article published ahead of Bill Clinton’s first inauguration said Chelsea Clinton’ first name was inspired by Judy Collins’ 1969 single “Chelsea Morning”. Both women are in their 30s and both are new moms. He’s said “I think putting a wife to work is a very unsafe thing” and famously told a lawyer “you’re disgusting” when she took a break from a deposition they were both attending.
What many people don’t know is that Chelsea and Ivanka have actually been friends for years.
The same can’t be said for their parents.
After spending time as a management consultant and as a correspondent for NBC, Chelsea Clinton now works for the Clinton Foundation and recently wrote a book for middle-school aged kids.
“I am an adult now, I have my own family.so I wouldn’t be moving back into my room, but I certainly hope that we’ll be able to visit mom and grandma in the White House”, she says. He “will focus on making quality child care affordable and accessible for all”, she said.
The FBI’s investigation into Clinton’s use of a private internet server didn’t result in criminal charges, but it did appear to deepen voters’ concerns with her honesty and trustworthiness.
“No we’re really not (friendly anymore)”, he said in a March interview.
She acknowledged those concerns briefly, saying “I get it that some people just don’t know what to make of me”. When you are in business you have to be friendly with everybody.
For those of us who haven’t, say, served as secretary of state, that would mean exercising a little discretion in the motherhood department.
She added that her father hired women for key jobs “long before it was commonplace”.
Despite each nominee’s mission to become the nation’s leader, their daughters don’t perpetuate the hostility.
Less than six weeks after welcoming her second child, a little boy named Aidan, with husband Marc Mezvinsky, 38, Chelsea Clinton, 36, made her first official public appearance at Day 4 of the 2016 Democratic National Convention. “But we also continue to have great respect for one another”.
Ivanka, however still contends that “our friendship has never been about politics”. “I don’t expect it will be about politics in the future”.
Ivanka and Chelsea, who both live in NY, met through their husbands, Jewish businessmen Jared Kushner and Marc Mezvinsky. Both daughters gave introductory speeches for their parents when they accepted their party’s nomination. A transcript of Chelsea Clinton’s DNC remarks show just how proud she is of her mom, and that her accomplishment truly resonates within the Clinton family and far, far beyond. After all, back when her first child, daughter Charlotte, 1, was born, Chelsea was almost back to her post-baby weight just six weeks after giving birth! A woman who has spent her entire life fighting for families and children. It’s an awareness that in some ways reminds me of my dad, and his ability to increase the joy of the room.
“Because both Clinton and Trump have such high negatives, showcasing their trophy children is a smart move”, historian and author Douglas Brinkley said.
In an interview with “Extra,” Clinton said she and Ivanka Trump, daughter of Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump are on good terms. “I learned that growing up, watching my parents be friends with people across the political spectrum in Arkansas”. I saw it up close.

And the two daughters of the aggrieved rivals have remained firm friends ever since, despite months of campaigning marked by vitriol.
