What to know about Donald Trump's family: See picture of president-elect's 'squad'
Former President Donald Trump, considered a political outcast after losing the presidency in 2020 and an attack by his supporters on the U.S. Capitol, won the polls Wednesday in a decisive and stunning victory over Vice President Kamala Harris, securing a second term in office.
Soon after Trump's win was announced and Harris conceded, Trump's eldest granddaughter Kai Trump posted a photo of the former and future president alongside his family and Tesla founder Elon Musk, with the caption: "The whole squad."
The family photo appeared to include all of Trump's five children and many of his grandchildren, though his wife Melania was missing.
Trump married thrice and has five children and 10 grandchildren in total. Here's what to know about Trump and his family.
