Who is Kai Trump, the granddaughter of Donald Trump?

The granddaughter of former President Trump dipped her toes into the political arena at this year’s Republican National Convention in Milwaukee.

Kai Trump, the daughter of Donald Trump Jr., stepped into the spotlight to talk about her grandfather — who recently survived an assassination attempt at a campaign rally. Throughout her remarks, the former president was spotted smiling as he watched her deliver her speech. 

“I’m speaking today to share the side of my grandpa that people don’t often see. To me, he’s just a normal grandpa,” Kai Trump said. “He gives us candy and soda when our parents aren’t looking. He always wants to know how we’re doing in school.”

Kai, 17, is the eldest daughter of Trump Jr. and his ex-wife, Vanessa Trump. The couple had four other children before divorcing in 2018. 

She appears to be an avid golfer, posting photos online of her participating in the sport and alongside her grandfather. She posted a photo alongside Trump in March after she won a tournament at one of the former president’s golf courses in Florida. 

She also recently posted a photo of the former president pumping his fist after he was grazed by a bullet during a rally Saturday outside Pittsburgh. Her caption: “We love you Grandpa. Never stop fighting!” 

Kai Trump joins a number of the former president’s relatives who have supported him on the campaign trail. Her father has also been spotted at the GOP convention alongside his siblings Eric Trump and Tiffany Trump. 

Eric Trump said Wednesday on “CBS Mornings” that Melania Trump and Ivanka Trump will both be “coming in full force” to the convention. The pair — who make rare appearances on the campaign trail — have not been spotted at the convention since it started Monday. 

Her slot at the convention also comes after the former president’s son, Barron Trump, made his political debut at a rally earlier this month.
