Former US President Donald Trump’s youngest son, Barron Trump, who recently turned 18, has sparked debate by taking on the role of a Florida delegate at July’s Republican National Convention. The move was shocking rather than welcoming for many political enthusiasts, who are now wondering about Barron’s intentions—whether he is stepping into a major political role to further his father’s legacy or simply becoming a part of what critics often deride as “his father’s circus.”
Barron, a high school senior who is expected to graduate in the next couple of months, is on the list of at-large delegates who will represent Florida at the convention. The convention will allow delegates to officially choose the party’s candidate for the presidency at the convention in Wisconsin. Which is going to be Donald Trump of course.

According to multiple reports, Barron is following in his siblings’ footsteps, including brothers Donald, Jr., and Eric, as well as sister Tiffany. “We have a great delegation of grassroots leaders, elected officials and even Trump family members.” Said Evan Power, the chairman of the Republican Party of Florida. “Florida is continuing to have a great convention team, but more importantly, we are preparing to win Florida and win it big,” he added to his statement.
