Ivanka Trump said the presidential campaign of her father, Donald Trump, is a “forward-looking moment.”
The 34-year-old also said she is not hurt that major figures in the
Republican Party — George W. Bush,
Mitt Romney, Sen.
John McCain and Ohio Gov. John Kasich among them — will not be attending the Republican National Convention, which kicked off today in Cleveland.
“That’s their choice if they don’t want to be part of the narrative, if they don’t want to be part of the future,” Ivanka Trump told “
Good Morning America” co-anchor Lara Spencer in an interview today in New York City. “But this really is about a forward-looking moment.”
"If you want someone to fight for you and your country, I can assure you, he is the guy," Mrs. Trump told delegates in her highest profile appearance of the presidential campaign.
"Who would trust Hillary Clinton to protect them? I wouldn't," Former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani said in one of the night's most fiery addresses.
"If Hillary Clinton can't give us the truth, why should we give her the presidency," Pat Smith said.
