"The president has made very clear he thinks that this is critical policy. And now we are working with members on both sides of the aisle to see who has the right policy to move forward and to be able to garner the votes to pass this into law," she said on CBS's "Face the Nation."

“And you think if it would be a Democratic-led bill, you would still support it?” host Margaret Brennan asked.

“It could be,” Ivanka Trump responded. “It definitely could be. I think the option that has been put out there by the Democrats, without even opining on the policy of it, it has sat there since 2012, has never been scored, has never received the endorsement of a president, including President Obama, and has never received bipartisan support. ... So the way I look at it is that the debate had grown stale.”

“We need to come up with new, fresh solutions, so we‘ve been working with Republicans, Democrats, proposing alternatives,” she continued, adding that what was “incredible” was that there appeared to be bipartisan consensus that paid family leave was worthwhile policy, with the debate emerging around the specifics of the policy.
