If you worked on the campaign, the main skills you got were using the kind of software that is used now for contacting constituents and logging calls etc.. I would make sure to put any software that she used on the résumé under skills and then maybe say something vague about the internship itself but the main thing is the skills.

I say be vague, but allow it to show she has experience. Internships, especially the first ones, are supposed to be about learning what you like and what you don’t.
My kid did the local RNC, followed by a congressional, followed by a 3-letter agency. I was about the foundation and progression.
The kid is no longer in the DC area and is not in a political or government position. Took a (business) consulting job post college.

I think it’s OK to leave it off. In fact, it’s probably a smart thing to do in this climate. Biden beat Trump by 2%. It wasn’t a landslide. The odds of your daughter interviewing with a MAGA supporter is reasonably high. Leaving the candidate’s name off doesn’t automatically mean that she’s a Republican.

Be vague. Maybe say member of congress from Indiana, or Member of the HoR. No names/parties.

And have a conversation with your daughter about not working for people who are going to be a liability to her future career. She might be a lovely and talented young woman, but far-right behavior is not something people are looking for in their workforces.
Nor far-left.
Far right behavior includes things like complaining about “wokeness” and affirmative action right now. That’s how workplaces lose EEO cases. It’s not about your individual politics but what that is going to mean for your employers liability.
No it's not.
