The elected president of the United States, Donald Trump will return in January 2025 to the White House accompanied by his family, who had an enormous role in his first administration and also in this year’s electoral campaign.
Here is a more detailed analysis of who stands out in the incoming presidential family, made up of five children and 10 grandchildren from three of Trump’s marriages:
Donald Trump Jr.
He eldest of Trump’s children He is dogmatic to the core, and has promoted his father’s agenda known as “Make America Great Again” to his 12 million followers on the social network X and through his podcast “Triggered “.
This 46-year-old man with a neat beard influenced the rise of his friend JD Vance, who went from being a moderately well-known conservative senator from Ohio to Trump’s running mate.
He has five children with his ex-wife Vanessa Trump, including 17-year-old Kai, who as the Republican leader’s granddaughter has described him as “just a normal grandfather.”
Don Jr. is now married to former Fox News anchor Kimberly Guilfoyle, who did her part for the Trump campaign through television interviews.
Eric Trump
Eric, 40, is also loyal and supported his father’s candidacy through frequent media appearances and speeches at rallies.
Along with Donald Jr., he is an executive at The Trump Organization, the real estate empire that installed Trump, 78, in the collective memory of Americans.
Eric has two children with his wife Lara Trump, who was appointed co-chair of the Republican National Committee in March, allowing her to reconfigure the party in Trump’s interests by firing dozens of longtime employees.
Ivanka Trump
Ivanka, Trump’s 43-year-old daughter, had a discreet role as “advisor to the president” during his first administration, which was sometimes seen as nepotism when he attended global summits such as the G20.
However, during the 2024 campaign she remained practically on the sidelines, after announcing that she was going to prioritize family life with her husband Jared Kushner and their three children.
Kushner was also a presidential adviser, and caused a stir when Trump tasked him with negotiating peace in the conflict between Israel and the Palestinians, despite having no significant experience in the Middle East.
Melania Trump
Melania will recover the label “first lady”a symbolic title that during Trump’s first presidency, from 2017 to 2021, he used to campaign for children’s health care and cybersecurity.
Since then, the 54-year-old has kept a relatively low profile, although she published her memoir weeks before Tuesday’s election.
In the book she shares her pro-abortion stance, a view that contrasts with the role her husband played in appointing Supreme Court justices who overturned federal protections for that right.
Melania has a son with the president-elect, Barron, 18 years oldwho studies at New York University.
Tiffany Trump
The Trump’s fourth daughter and the only product of his relationship with his second wife, actress Marla Maples, also kept a low profile during his father’s presidency and recent election campaign.
Tiffany, 31, was among those who appeared in a New York court this year during her father’s trial for concealing payments to a former porn actress in exchange for her silence, which led to his conviction.
She is married to Michael Boulos, the son of a billionaire born in Lebanon and with whom she is expecting a baby.
