Some Trump family members will serve as unofficial White House advisors in his second term.
After serving as a senior advisor during Trump's first term, Ivanka Trump will not reenter politics.
Lara Trump will continue serving as RNC cochair unless Gov. Ron DeSantis appoints her to the Senate.
President-elect Donald Trump's family members may not hold as many formal White House roles as they did during his first term, but they'll still remain important parts of his political operation.
Aside from Melania Trump, who will return as first lady, Lara Trump holds the most established leadership position as cochair of the RNC. She's also being floated as a possible replacement for Florida Sen. Marco Rubio's Senate seat if he's confirmed as secretary of state.
Donald Trump's youngest son, Barron Trump, has also begun venturing into politics and advising his father on appealing to young voters.
Other Trump family members like Ivanka Trump and Tiffany Trump will remain out of the spotlight.
Here's a rundown of how Donald Trump's relatives will — or won't — be involved in his administration.
Melania Trump will serve as first lady, but it's unclear how present she'll be at the White House.
During Donald Trump's first term, Melania Trump fulfilled first lady duties such as planning state dinners, promoting children's well-being with her "Be Best" campaign, and decorating the White House for Christmas.
She made infrequent appearances with her husband on the 2024 campaign trail and declined Jill Biden's invitation to meet at the White House after the election, indicating that she will likely play by her own rules during Trump's second term.
CNN reported that Melania Trump is "unlikely" to live at the White House full-time.
The Office of Melania Trump did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
Donald Trump Jr. will forego a White House role and work for a venture capital firm with ties to Tucker Carlson.
Cofounded by former Bank of America executive Omeed Malik, 1789 Capital defines itself as "anti-ESG," which stands for environmental, social, and governance. Instead, it focuses on "EIG," or entrepreneurship, innovation, and growth.
The VC firm has funded former Fox News host Tucker Carlson's independent media company, among other ventures, Business Insider previously reported. Trump Jr. will join the firm as a partner.
Representatives for Trump Jr. did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
Trump Jr.'s fiancée, Kimberly Guilfoyle, does not appear to have an official role in the future Trump administration.
Whether she'll have an official role in the future Trump administration remains to be seen, but she'll likely continue her speaking engagements, media appearances, and hosting duties on "The Kimberly Guilfoyle Show" on the video-sharing platform Rumble.
Representatives for Guilfoyle did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
Ivanka Trump will not serve as a senior White House advisor as she did during Donald Trump's first term.
When Donald Trump launched his 2024 campaign, Ivanka Trump announced that she was stepping back from politics.
"I love my father very much," she said in a statement shared on social media. "This time around, I am choosing to prioritize my children and the private life we are creating as a family. I do not plan to be involved in politics. While I will always love and support my father, going forward, I will do so outside the political arena."
She made a few appearances with her father during the campaign but largely returned to her life as a socialite. In a July interview on the "Lex Fridman Podcast," Ivanka Trump reiterated that she did not plan to return to politics, calling it "a rough, rough business" that is "at odds with what feels good for me as a human being."
Representatives for the Trump transition team did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
Her husband, Jared Kushner, will reportedly unofficially advise Donald Trump on the Middle East.
Kushner told Axios in February that he would not rejoin the Trump administration as a senior advisor for a second term, but CNN and the Israeli newspaper Israel Hayom reported that he would serve as an unofficial advisor, building on the relationships he formed with leaders in the Middle East while brokering the Abraham Accords.
Representatives for Kushner did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
Eric Trump will likely continue leading the Trump Organization.
Eric Trump has served as an advisor throughout Donald Trump's presidential runs, frequently appearing at rallies and on cable news. He remains the executive vice president of the Trump Organization, overseeing the Trump family's luxury real-estate portfolio as he did during Donald Trump's first term.
New York Attorney General Letitia James led a yearslong investigation into allegations of fraud at the Trump Organization. In February, the civil fraud case resulted in a $364 million penalty against Donald Trump and other company leaders. The Trump Organization denied any wrongdoing and appealed the verdict.
The Trump Organization did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
His wife, Lara Trump, will continue her tenure as cochair of the RNC — unless Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis appoints her to the Senate.
Lara Trump was voted cochair of the Republican National Committee in March after receiving Donald Trump's endorsement.
She shares the job with Michael Whatley, a Trump loyalist and former North Carolina's GOP chair.
Together, Lara Trump and Whatley oversee the RNC's platform and funds, further cementing Donald Trump's hold over the Republican Party.
Some GOP members, including Alabama Sen. Katie Britt, Florida Rep. Anna Paulina Luna, and Florida Sen. Rick Scott, have called on DeSantis to appoint Lara Trump to the Senate seat that Sen. Marco Rubio will vacate if he is confirmed as secretary of state.
Representatives for the Republican National Committee and Lara Trump did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
Tiffany Trump only makes occasional public appearances with her father and is expected to remain distanced from politics.
Tiffany Trump, a Georgetown Law School graduate, has attended a few campaign events and shared occasional supportive messages and videos on social media but has never been active in politics.
Unlike in 2016 and 2020, she did not speak at the 2024 Republican National Convention.
She and her husband, Michael Boulos, are expecting their first baby.
Representatives for the Trump transition team did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
Aside from a few appearances with his wife, Michael Boulos has also not been involved in Donald Trump's political ventures.
Boulos' father, Lebanese businessman and Boulos Enterprises founder Massad Boulos, has been a more active participant, campaigning with Donald Trump in Michigan ahead of the 2024 election in an effort to reach Arab-American voters.
Boulos Enterprises did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
Barron Trump could continue serving as Donald Trump's unofficial Gen Z advisor.
Ahead of the 2024 election, Barron Trump began venturing into politics after turning 18, serving as an at-large Florida delegate at the Republican National Convention.
While Barron Trump will be busy with his studies at New York University during his father's second term, he may continue offering advice to appeal to young citizens.
Representatives for the Trump transition team did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
