Donald Trump won’t take the oath of office for another seven days, yet this week seemed to mark the first of his presidency. Already, the Senate held a marathon, overnight vote to pass legislation that would begin the process to repeal and replace Obamacare—one of the hallmark campaign promises of a candidate Trump’s platform. The president-elect held his first press conference since winning the election, where he obliquely addressed his conflicts of interests. Also on Thursday, Stephen Miller, the incoming senior White House adviser for policy, reportedly spent a half hour on the phone with the House Ways and Means Committee to talk childcare, according to Politico.

This, of course, was a policy championed mostly by Ivanka Trump, the president-elect’s eldest daughter, who, throughout the campaign, stumped for her father, telling audiences in blue-collar suburbs of Philadelphia and onstage at the Republican National Convention that her father would support paid maternity leave and tax credits to help families afford childcare.

Now, eight days before the changing of the guard in Washington, it was Ivanka’s agenda that was being sold to House leaders by a top administration official. Politico reported that Miller proposed including in the G.O.P.’s re-write of the tax code a provision that would let parents write off childcare costs. A requirement that companies provide at least six weeks of maternity leave will likely be put in motion outside of a tax reform bill, Miller and lawmakers agreed. A source told Politico that these policies have been “pushed up to a front-burner status, as is evident by the fact that they’re already getting this granular this early.”

The quick movement to advance her political agenda is the latest in a series of maneuvers by the future First Daughter to take on a role more like that of a First Lady. Ivanka announced earlier this week that she will be resigning from her executive job at the Trump Organization and at her own eponymous brand, selling her assets, and moving to Washington with her three children and husband, Jared Kushner, who will serve as his father-in-law’s senior adviser in the West Wing. While Ivanka has not settled on a formal role, she does plan to advocate, in some capacity, for issues directly related to the kind of policies Miller is already pushing. This week, The New York Times reported that Dina Powell, a close confidante of Ivanka’s and a Goldman Sachs partner who runs many of the banks philanthropic measures that help women around the world, will serve as an adviser in the White House. She will reportedly serve the president-elect, but the Times noted that she will also advise Ivanka and Kushner, giving credence to the notion that she will take on a greater, more formalized role down the road (the Times reported last month that Ivanka is working with a lobbying firm to reach out to Congress members on childcare issues, as well).

In a post on Facebook earlier this week, Ivanka told her followers that she will press on these issues once she settles her family in the nation’s capital. “I’m grateful for the overwhelming amount of outreach I've received from people all across America who have shared their stories and offered to extend their ideas and expertise in the areas I am deeply passionate about, including the education and empowerment of women and girls; leveling the playing field for female entrepreneurs and job creators and unleashing the potential of women in the workplace,” she wrote. “I am eager to hear more from them as I determine the most impactful and appropriate ways for me to serve our country.”

A source familiar with the situation told me that there is no delusion about how difficult something like her childcare agenda will be to pass. “But it does reinforce that, due to Ivanka raising awareness of the issue, there at least seem to be some discussions when there otherwise would have been none.”
