PALM BEACH, FLORDIA: President-elect Donald Trump's granddaughter, Kai Trump, gave behind-the-scenes details of election night at Mar-a-Lago and the convention hall where the upcoming president gave his victory speech.

The vlog recorded her preparation and eagerness that had been mounting throughout election night and showed the family gathered around several televisions in one of the rooms in the Florida mansion.
Soon, the vlog panned to the family members who posed for a photo. An unidentified person said off camera, “We could do one big family shot.”
Melania Trump was missing from the picture which included all of Donald Trump‘s children, their partners, and some grandchildren like Kai. The former first lady had been a rare sight throughout her husband‘s nearly two-year reelection campaign.
Tesla magnate Elon Musk was also present and was called by Trump to join in for the family photo. The President-elect said, "Elon, you have to have a picture with your boy. You have to get Elon with his boy. Gorgeous, perfect boy."
Trump and the company continued to watch the election results come in on several television screens that were tuned into a different network, per the outlet.
Kai Trump also showed the backstage scene at Palm Beach County Convention Center and announced that she was about to see JD Vance but that part was not included in the vlog.
Towards the end of the video, the teenager revisited the night a couple of days later and gave a recap as she couldn't film the entire event because she was celebrating.
"We didn't really get to film the end because he won and we were just celebrating with family."
"He really has worked his b**t off every single day for the past 8 years for this country," she added.
The 17-year-old daughter of Donald Trump Jr, and former wife Vanessa, called her grandfather "such an incredible and unique person" who "fights every single day for America."
