Jared Kushner says he and his wife, Ivanka Trump, don't plan to change their lives to refocus on politics — and that's even if his father-in-law, former President Donald Trump, wins next week's election.

"We're rooting for him — obviously, we're proud of him. But, you know, either way, our life will just continue to move forward," Kushner said in an interview with The New York Times published on Tuesday. Ivanka Trump declined to be interviewed by the Times, saying Kushner would speak for her and their family.

Kushner told the Times he didn't expect "a major shift in terms of what we prioritize" if the elder Trump is elected.

When asked whether his wife would rejoin her father's campaign in the final days of the presidential race, Kushner said there was "zero" chance of that happening.

Kushner told the Times that Ivanka Trump "made the decision when she left Washington that she was closing that chapter of her life."

"And she's been remarkably consistent," Kushner added.

In November 2022, Ivanka Trump said in an interview with Fox News Digital that she wanted to focus on her young family instead of politics.

"I love my father very much. This time around, I am choosing to prioritize my young children and the private life we are creating as a family. I do not plan to be involved in politics," she told Fox News Digital after she skipped Trump's 2024 campaign launch.

"While I will always love and support my father, going forward, I will do so outside the political arena," she added.

Representatives for Kushner and the Trump campaign didn't respond to requests for comment from Business Insider sent outside regular business hours.

Ivanka Trump and Kushner advised Donald Trump when he was in office, but the couple have scaled back their political activities since leaving Washington.

For one, neither has spoken at any of the rallies for Trump's 2024 campaign, though they did make a rare appearance on the final night of the Republican National Convention in July.

Instead, they've returned to their previous lives and careers.

In March, Ivanka Trump attended the Ambani family's pre-wedding bash in India with Kushner and their daughter, Arabella Rose Kushner. Later, in May, the couple attended a pop-up event organized by the Italian restaurant Carbone ahead of the Miami Grand Prix.

Kushner has been running his private-equity fund, Affinity Partners.

In April 2022, the Times reported that Kushner's firm had secured more than $2 billion in funding from Saudi Arabia. Kushner worked on Middle East policy while in the Trump administration.

The Times reported in September that Kushner's fund had received at least $112 million in fees from foreign investors such as Saudi Arabia since 2021.

"Politics is a rough, rough business, and I think it's one that you also can't dabble in. I think you have to either be all in or all out," Ivanka Trump told the podcaster Lex Fridman in an episode that aired in July.

"There's a lot of darkness, a lot of negativity," she added, "and it's just really at odds with what feels good for me as a human being."
