Watch: Donald Trump Jr. and his daughter Kai’s full 2024 RNC remarks

Kai Trump joined her father Donald Trump Jr. on stage to deliver remarks at the 2024 Republican National Convention in Milwaukee.

Donald Trump’s last campaign for president in 2016 was filled with frequent appearances and speeches from his children, who have been some of the most vocal supporters of his campaigns for president.

And on the third day of the Republican National Convention in Milwaukee this week, Trump’s oldest granddaughter, Kai Trump, became the first of his grandchildren to talk about what it’s like to have one of the most famous people in the world as a grandfather.

In her speech, Kai mostly focused on the side of Trump that no one sees, calling him a “normal grandpa.”

"I'm speaking today to share the side of my grandpa that people don't often see," she said. 

"To me, he's just a normal grandpa. He gives us candy and soda when our parents aren't looking. He always wants to know how we're doing in school."

Here’s what we know about New York-born Floridian Kai Trump.
