Donald Trump and Ivanka Attend UFC 299
Former President Donald Trump and his eldest daughter, Ivanka, made a surprise appearance at UFC 299, captivating the audience at the Kaseya Center in Miami, Florida. Trump’s presence was met with enthusiasm as he engaged with notable personalities like Dave Portnoy and Sage Steele before settling cageside with Ivanka and son-in-law Jared Kushner to witness the thrilling bout between Sean O’Malley and Marlon Vera.
Political Undertones and Chants
Trump’s unexpected UFC appearance followed a passionate speech in Rome, Georgia, where he criticized Joe Biden for a mispronunciation during the State of the Union address. As Trump’s speech resonated, the crowd erupted into a chant of “F**ck Joe Biden!” captured in a viral video by Benny Johnson. This moment has been interpreted as a reflection of Trump’s enduring support base as the GOP’s potential presidential nominee.
Another video captured an early start to the “F**ck Joe Biden” chant at UFC 299, further highlighting the political fervor surrounding Trump’s presence.
Rare Outing and Absence
According to a report by the Daily Mail, Trump and Ivanka’s appearance at UFC 299 marked a rare public outing together. The father-daughter duo had not been seen together since January 2024, at Melania Trump’s mother’s funeral ceremony in Palm Beach.
Prior to their recent public appearance, Ivanka had distanced herself from her father’s business activities, sparking speculation about their relationship. Despite rumors of a June 2023 dinner for Trump’s birthday and a joint presence at Tiffany Trump’s wedding in November 2022, Ivanka had notably refrained from involvement in her father’s Republican nomination campaign.
However, with Nikki Haley’s withdrawal from the GOP ticket race, Ivanka has reemerged in support of her father, positioning herself back within Trump’s political circle as the 2024 elections unfold.
