Barron Trump, the youngest son of former President Donald Trump, will make his political debut as a delegate at the Republican National Convention (RNC) in July. The Florida Republican Party selected Barron as one of its at-large delegates, joining his siblings Eric, Donald Jr., and Tiffany who were also chosen as delegates.
Barron Trump's selection marks his most high-profile role to date in politics. He will be joining his family members in supporting his father's presidential bid during the convention.
Despite being largely kept out of the public eye, Barron has shown interest in politics. The Republican Party of Florida stated that Barron is 'very interested' in the political process.
Barron Trump will graduate from high school next week and his father had previously expressed his regret for missing the graduation due to a trial in Manhattan related to hush money payments to an adult film actress. However, the judge allowed Donald Trump to attend Barron's graduation ceremony.
The Florida delegation includes several other notable figures, including Pam Bondi, Florida's former attorney general who ran super PACs supporting Trump. Other members of the delegation include Kimberly Guilfoyle, Donald Trump Jr.'s fiancée and a member of the platform committee for the RNC.
The Republican Party of Florida has been supportive of Donald Trump's presidential bid, with Florida GOP chairman Evan Power stating that they are 'preparing to win Florida and win it big'. The state is significant as Donald Trump won both the 2016 and 2020 elections there.
