Donald Trump has not had a good record with women this campaign, but on Thursday night his eldest daughter, Ivanka, described her father as a champion of working women and mothers. Introducing her father at the Republican National Convention — her biggest stage yet — Ivanka, 34, praised Trump’s business sense and ability to “see potential in others,” and she offered personal anecdotes about his character as a father. A businesswoman in her own right, Ivanka Trump described the presidential nominee’s record of hiring women before similar companies did. “My father values talent. He is colorblind and gender neutral,” she said to applause. “When Donald Trump is in charge, all that counts is ability, excellence and effort.” Ivanka, herself a mother, described the current wage gap for women, particularly for moms. “As president, my father will change the labor laws that were put in place at a time when women were not a significant portion of the workforce,” she said. “And he will focus on making quality child care affordable and accessible for all.”
