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 Trump’s older half-brothers Donald Trump Jr. and Eric Trump, children from the former president’s first marriage to Ivana Trump, are advising him in unofficial capacities, in addition to making political appearances on his behalf. Ivanka Trump and her 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-chairwoman of the Republican National Committee.
“He’s pretty young, I will say. He’s 17,” Donald Trump told Telemundo 51 in Miami on 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,'” he added during a Friday interview with Kayal and Company on Talk Radio 1210 WPHT in Philadelphia.
