Barron Trump, the youngest son of former President Donald Trump, has declined the opportunity to serve as Florida GOP’s at-large delegate at the upcoming Republican National Convention in July. The announcement was made by his mother’s office on Friday, citing prior commitments as the reason for his decision.
The 18-year-old was initially selected by the Republican Party of Florida to be one of the state’s 41 at-large delegates at the convention. However, Barron Trump’s decision not to participate has sparked speculation about his future in politics, especially as other Trump family members, including Donald Trump Jr., Eric Trump, and Tiffany Trump, are set to serve as delegates.
The news of Barron Trump potentially entering the political arena received mixed reactions on social media, with some criticizing the move while others expressing support for the young Trump. Despite the controversy, Barron Trump has largely remained out of the public eye during his father’s presidency and upcoming 2024 campaign.
In a recent radio interview, former President Donald Trump praised his youngest son, describing him as a “great guy” with an interest in politics. Barron Trump is set to graduate from Oxbridge Academy in Palm Beach, Florida on May 17, with his father being granted permission to attend the ceremony by Judge Juan Merchan.
As the GOP prepares to nominate Donald Trump as its presidential candidate for the November general election, the Trump family’s involvement in politics continues to be a topic of interest and speculation.
