Tiffany Trump is the most low profile of the president's four adult children, but she was back to center stage for the campaign Tuesday night with her second convention speech.
Clocking in at just under seven minutes, Tiffany's speech was light on personal anecdotes about her father, and more closely resembled a boilerplate surrogate pitch.
Since last addressing the GOP in 2016, the 26-year-old presented herself as a relatable job seeker who just graduated from law school during the pandemic.

"As a recent graduate, I can relate to so many of you who might be looking for a job," she said. "My father has built a thriving economy once and believe me, he will do it again."
Tiffany graduated last spring from Georgetown University's law program, where she largely remained under the radar while studying just across town from her father.
Sometimes known as Trump's "wild card" daughter, Tiffany grew up across the country from Don Jr., Eric and Ivanka.
Maples raised Tiffany as a single mom in Calabasas, Calif., where she went to Viewpoint School before heading to Georgetown.
Although Tiffany does not have a White House job or role with the Trump Organization like her older siblings, she did reportedly involved in drafting the Trump administration's criminal justice reform package with her professor, Shon Hopwood.
Tiffany also mentioned criminal justice reform in her speech.
Otherwise, the speech was light on the personal anecdotes usually front and center in convention speeches from the children and family of candidates.
Instead, she relied on more boilerplate lines that are commonplace in the remarks of other Trump campaign surrogates.
"My father does not run away from challenges, even in the face of outright hatred," she said. "Because fighting for America is something he will sacrifice anything for. He dreams big dreams for our country."
The Trump campaign tweeted a video Tiffany's full remarks shortly after her speech.
