Berlin. Donald Trump triumphs in the US election. Family members and close confidants are at his side. What role do they play?
At an election party in Florida, Donald Trump declares himself the winner of the US election. On stage: his family and important companions. Who are the people on the side of the former and future president of the USA? The Trump-Clan from right to left:
Jared Kushner: Trump’s son-in-law is married to daughter Ivanka. He is considered media shy, but quite influential. Kushner comes from a wealthy business family and served as an adviser in the White House during Trump’s first term.
Ivanka Trump: Ivanka, 43, is the second child from Trump’s first marriage to Ivana Trump. Ivanka hardly appeared in the election campaign. However, she supported her father during his first term in office.
JD Vance: As vice president, he will work alongside Trump in the White House for the next four years. Vance became known to a wide audience through his book “Hillbilly Elegy” and through his sometimes controversial appearances in the election campaign.
Usha Vance: JD Vance’s wife is considered a smart and educated lawyer. Like her husband, she studied at the elite Yale University and then worked for the conservative Supreme Court Justices Brett Kavanaugh and John Roberts, among others.
