Barron Trump, the youngest son of former President Donald Trump, is stepping into the political limelight as he joins the ranks of Florida’s delegates to the Republican National Convention. At 18 years old, Barron was chosen as one of the state’s at-large delegates by the Republican Party of Florida on Wednesday night.
His selection comes as his father is expected to be officially nominated as the Republican presidential candidate at the convention in July. Barron will be among 41 delegates representing Florida, a crucial battleground state that his father won twice in presidential elections.
Barron’s role as a delegate entails shaping the party’s beliefs, methods, and public policies, as well as participating in the voting process for the Republican presidential nomination. While Barron’s involvement in politics has been limited in the past, his inclusion in the delegation signals a new chapter in his engagement with the political process.

Barron joins his more politically active brothers, Eric Trump and Donald Trump Jr., as well as his sister Tiffany Trump, who are also part of the Florida delegation.
The Trump family’s prominent presence among Florida’s delegates underscores their influence in Republican politics. Lara Trump, wife of Eric Trump, serves as the co-chair of the Republican National Committee, while Kimberly Guilfoyle, the fiancée of Donald Trump Jr., and Michael Boulos, Tiffany Trump’s husband, are also part of the 41 at-large delegates at the party’s national meeting in July.
Notably absent from the list of delegates is Ivanka Trump, Donald Trump’s eldest daughter and former senior White House adviser, who announced in 2022 that she would not participate in her father’s 2024 campaign.
