Former President Donald J. Trump's youngest son, Barron, has been chosen as one of Florida's delegates to the Republican National Convention after years of intense privacy and keeping him out of the political arena. .
Barron, who turned 18 earlier this year and is scheduled to graduate from high school this month, will be one of 41 at-large delegates at the party's national convention in July, when the party is expected to formally nominate his father as the party's presidential nominee. It's planned to be. His selection was previously reported by NBC News.
The youngest Trump will be joined in the delegation by his two politically active brothers, Eric Trump and Donald Trump Jr., who both voted to support their father's candidacy. Participating in activities and responding to interviews.
Trump's second daughter, Tiffany, will also be a Florida delegate. Her eldest son, Ivanka Trump, is not on the list.
Children of politicians often accompany their parents on the road to the stump, but Barron Trump has barely participated in his father's campaign this year. It remains to be seen whether he will speak at the Republican convention, as his brother did in 2016 and 2020.
For the past few years, Barron has been attending a private high school near Florida. His May 17 graduation coincided with a court date and became an issue in Trump's hush money trial in Manhattan.
The judge in the case initially delayed deciding whether to hold court that day, prompting complaints from Trump, but ultimately agreed to adjourn the court for the day.
The Florida party's delegate list further illustrates the extent to which the Trump family and his supporters have moved to the center of Republican politics. His daughter-in-law Lara, who is married to Eric Trump, became co-chair of the Republican National Committee earlier this year.
The Florida delegation list also includes Kimberly Guilfoyle, fiancee of Donald Trump Jr., and Michael Boulos, husband of Tiffany Trump. Other long-time allies of Trump, including major donor and former Marvel Entertainment CEO Isaac Perlmutter and longtime Trump friend and real estate investor Steve Witkoff, were also chosen. Ta.
