Kai Madison Trump, the 17-year-old daughter of Donald Trump Jr. , will join her father on the main stage Wednesday night at the Republican National Convention . They're set to address the GOP crowd at 9 p.m. CT/10 p.m. ET.
"I am honored to be speaking at the RNC at 9 p.m. (CDT)," Kai shared on her Instagram story, alongside a photo featuring her grandfather and his vice-presidential pick, Senator JD Vance .
Born on May 12, 2007, Kai is the daughter of Donald Trump Jr. and Vanessa Trump, who divorced in 2018. She is the eldest of Donald Trump's ten grandchildren and has been in the public eye from a young age, attending high-profile events such as her grandfather's inauguration and the White House Easter Egg Roll.
An avid golfer, Kai frequently shares her passion for the sport on social media and her YouTube channel . Earlier this year, she celebrated a ladies' club championship victory at Trump's golf course in Palm Beach.
