What Went Down During President Trump’s Closing Speech At The RNC

Ivanka criticized Democrats for not supporting the doubling of the child tax credit, which passed as part of the 2017 tax reform bill. Of course, that’s not the part of the law that Democrats were actually opposed to.

Ivanka has described her father several times in this speech as “the people’s president.” This was a moniker claimed by Andrew Jackson.

“Four years later, here I am,” says Ivanka, in talking about campaigning alongside her father. It makes me think of this Helen Anne Petersen article about the Ivanka voter in 2016. I’m less sure going into this year, though, if this voter is still in Ivanka’s camp. As we’ve noted several times on this live blog, much of this week has been devoted to reaching out to women, but as Amelia and Meredith have written elsewhere on the site, women are largely backing Biden more than Trump at this point. Do you think Ivanka and the other speeches from this week might help change that?
