Kai, the daughter of Don Jr, published the picture of all five of the President-elect's children alongside their partners and kids- and Elon Musk - beaming in Mar-A-Lago, Florida.

Captioning the image "the whole squad", the 17-year-old wrote: "No one works harder or cares more about the American people.

"Congratulations, Grandpa, I love you." But one member was glaringly absent Trump's wife, Melania.

Earlier on Tuesday, the 54-year-old had made a rare appearance with her husband as they voted close to their Palm Beach home.

She then made a brief appearance on stage as Trump gave his victory speech.

In little over two months, the President-electis set to swap his Florida mansion for the White House 1,000 miles away - a move many believe he will make alone.

Though no official announcement has been made, sources close to the First Lady-elect suggest she may not be eager to take on a second round of White House life.

Since departing Washington in January 2021, she has embraced a private existence, dividing her time between Mar-a-Lago and New York.

Melania has made it clear that her life is far removed from the political stage. Her absence from most of Trump's campaign events sparked speculation as to whether she is stepping back as First Lady for good - and, if so, what it would say about her marriage.

A source said: "It is no secret that Melania by and large loathed her time in the White House and that, on leaving, she felt it cathartic.
