Melania Trump’s office confirmed that 18-year-old Barron Trump will not be a delegate at the GOP Convention due to prior commitments. This would have been Barron’s first direct involvement in politics by attending the Republican Convention in Milwaukee as a delegate for the Florida GOP. Despite being honored by the invitation, Barron decided to decline the opportunity.
Barron Trump, the youngest member of the Trump family, would have been a delegate for the Florida GOP alongside his three older siblings – Don Jr., Eric, and Tiffany. The convention, scheduled for July 15-18, would have likely seen Barron participating in nominating his father as the official Republican presidential nominee. Ivanka Trump, who has remained out of politics during her father’s re-election run, was the only Trump sibling not included on the delegate list.
In addition to Barron, other GOP delegates connected to the Trump family include Kimberly Guilfoyle, fiancée of Don Jr., and Michael Boulos, husband of Tiffany. Barron, who is set to graduate from high school, is rarely seen in public and has never been reported to have spoken publicly. However, his recent 18th birthday could indicate that he will become more involved on the campaign trail alongside his mother.
Donald Trump revealed that Barron has an interest in politics and sometimes advises him on political matters. Trump described Barron as a good-looking and tall individual who has excelled as a student. Despite reports that Barron would be attending NYU, his college decision has not been disclosed. Trump mentioned that college choices are changing due to recent events, possibly referring to anti-Israel campus protests that may be influencing Barron’s decision.
