Trump-daughter-in-law: I had my doubts he would win

Donald Trump’s daughter-in-law says she had her doubts at times that he would win the presidential election.

“I would be lying if I gave him a 100 percent chance to get him into the White House,” Lara Trump said on ABC News’s “20/20” Friday.

“I think we were all surprised early on, actually, by the number of people that got behind him,” she continued.

Donald Trump’s victory over Democrat Hillary Clinton in the presidential race was a shocking upset.

Lara Trump said she and family members realized Donald Trump was winning on Election Night before he did.

“He didn’t want it to be said until we knew, because he said, ‘Don’t tell me if we haven’t really won yet. I want to know for sure,’” she recalled.

“Everybody kept coming up and saying, ‘We think we have Pennsylvania. We have it. You’re going to win, you’re going to be the next president,’” Lara Trump continued.

“[He said], ‘I don’t want to know until it’s real, until someone has made it official. We were all elated and felt so vindicated and happy.”

She realized her father-in-law would become America’s 45th president when he won her home state of North Carolina.

Donald Trump did not have either a concession or victory speech written before he won there and Pennsylvania, she said.

“He’s a little superstitious,” said Lara Trump, who is married to Donald Trump’s son Eric Trump. “And I don’t blame him.”
