Donald Trump’s eldest granddaughter Kai wore a dazzling sequin dress during her grandfather’s celebratory speech on Wednesday.
The speech aired around 3 a.m. and served as a victory lap of sorts for the former president as victory appears to be on the horizon.
As he spoke, Donald Trump Jr.’s 17-year-old daughter stood at attention — flanked by Trump’s daughter Ivanka and son-in-law Jared Kushner.
Others there included 18-year-old Baron and mother Melania, as the entire Trump clan came together to cap off a successful campaign.
Kai, meanwhile, watched with her father after making her first major appearance at the Republican National Convention a few months away. Since then, she has emerged as a social media sensation.

After her appearance on stage in the early morning hours, Kai posted a loving photo of her and Trump on social media.
She captioned the photo: “No one works harder or cares more about the American people. Congratulations grandpa, I love you!’
“We made history tonight for a reason, and the reason is that we overcame obstacles that no one thought possible,” her grandfather said after winning Pennsylvania and then Wisconsin.
“And it is now clear that we have achieved the most incredible political result.”
He then thanked supporters and promised a golden age for the nation when he takes office, before inviting running mate JD Vance to the microphone.
“I thank you for the trust you have placed in me,” the vice presidential candidate said.
“And I think we just witnessed the greatest political comeback in the history of the United States of America.”
Waiting in the wings was Trump’s entire family, as the Harris team notably quit for the night without calling a meeting.
The Associated Press still had not called the election for Trump by 3 a.m., but he still claimed victory on stage.

It meant that Trump had won three of the key states of North Carolina, Georgia and Pennsylvania, making victory inevitable.
Four years ago, Trump was a defeated man. Within months, he left Washington DC under a cloud after his supporters ransacked the US Capitol.
The Allies abandoned him and he headed for exile in Mar-a-Lago.
On Tuesday night, he was surrounded by supporters, friends and family at his Florida home as he regained his crown.
He led them to the stage at the Palm Beach County Convention Center, where he delivered his victory speech to hundreds of other supporters who had waited hours to see him.
“Above all, I want to thank the millions of hardworking Americans across the country who have always been the heart and soul of this truly great movement,” he said.
