Breaking Down the Trump Family Line of Succession
At the Republican National Convention, Donald Trump officially assumed his role as the GOP’s nominee for the 2024 presidential election and announced Ohio Senator J.D. Vance as his running mate.
It was not just the patriarch of the Trump family that took center stage at the RNC, but Trump’s sons, Donald Trump Jr. and Eric Trump, and his granddaughter, Kai Trump, who also addressed the crowd. Trump’s wife Melania and his daughter Ivanka were present at the convention, though they did not speak.

He serves as executive vice president in The Trump Organization and often defends his father’s Make America Great Again platform. At the time of publication, Trump Jr. has over 11 million followers on X (formerly Twitter) and often uses his profile to champion his father’s campaign. Over a decade before his father was elected president in 2016, Trump Jr. was arrested for “public intoxication” in downtown New Orleans.
