The Full Story
In 'Treehouse of Horror XXVII', a background prop visible during the Halloween anthology segment shows a campaign button reading 'Ivanka 2028' — a throwaway visual gag planted three years before the end of Donald Trump's first term. As of early 2026, Ivanka Trump has deliberately stepped back from politics; Jared Kushner told the New York Times there is zero chance of her campaigning; and Donald Trump Jr. is now considered the more likely Trump family 2028 candidate. Prediction markets give her under 5% odds of the Republican nomination.
