Barron Trump, former President Donald Trump‘s youngest son and his only scion with former first lady Melania Trump, will not be a Florida delegate at the 2024 Republican National Convention, according to his mother’s office.
“While Barron is honored to have been chosen as a delegate by the Florida Republican Party, he regretfully declines to participate due to prior commitments,” a spokeswoman for Melania Trump told the Washington Examiner.
Trump campaign spokeswoman Karoline Leavitt told the Washington Examiner the former president’s family is “a critical part of his campaign, as they have been since 2016.” Barron’s older half-brothers Don, Jr. and Eric Trump, children from the former president’s first marriage to Ivana, are advising him in unofficial capacities, in addition to making political appearances on his behalf. Ivanka Trump and husband Jared Kushner, though former White House aides, have distanced themselves, at least publicly, from her father’s campaign this election cycle. Eric’s wife Lara is also now co-chair of the Republican National Committee.
“He’s pretty young, I will say. He’s 17,” Trump told Telemundo 51 in Miami Thursday. “But if they can do that, I’m all for it.”
“It’s sort of funny. He’ll tell me sometimes, ‘Dad, this is what you have to do,’” Trump added during a Friday interview with Kayal and Company on Talk Radio 1210 WPHT in Philadelphia.
Had Barron Trump, 18, accepted the Florida GOP’s invitation to be on the convention floor in Milwaukee this July, alongside other listed delegates Don, Jr., Eric, and other half-sister Tiffany, the former president’s only daughter with second wife Marla Maples, it would have been a very high-profile debut into politics after years of his family, particularly his mother, fiercely protecting his privacy.
