    Ivanka Trump is staying by her father’s side after a would-be assassin targeted the former president during a Saturday campaign rally in Pennsylvania.

    The former first daughter received former President Donald Trump Saturday night at his Bedminster, NJ estate, where he spent the night after his injuries were examined at a Butler, Pa., hospital immediately after the shooting.

    “He’s her dad and this was terrifying,” said a family source.

    Ivanka, 42, previously spoke to her father on the phone while he was still in the hospital, multiple sources told The Post.

    She is expected to join the presumptive Republican nominee for president in Milwaukee on Thursday when Trump formally accepts the party’s nomination.

    The 78-year-old former president will head to convention city on Sunday afternoon despite being grazed by a bullet the previous night.

    “Based on yesterday’s terrible events, I was going to delay my trip to Wisconsin, and The Republican National Convention, by two days, but have just decided that I cannot allow a ‘shooter,’ or potential assassin, to force change to scheduling, or anything else,” Trump wrote on Truth Social. “Therefore, I will be leaving for Milwaukee, as scheduled, at 3:30 P.M. TODAY.”

    Ivanka said in a social media post Sunday that she attributes her father’s survival of the assassination attempt to her mom, the late Ivana Trump, whom the former first daughter said was “watching over Dad.”

    The gunman, identified as 20-year-old Thomas Matthew Crooks, was shot and killed moments after wounding the former president, killing a rally-goer and critically injuring at least two others during his short rampage, according to authorities.

    “It was God alone who prevented the unthinkable from happening,” the former president said of the attempt on his life.
