Barron Trump Selected as Florida Delegate for Republican National Convention
Barron Trump, the youngest son of former President Donald Trump, has been chosen as one of Florida's at-large delegates for the upcoming Republican National Convention. The 18-year-old will join his siblings, Eric Trump and Donald Trump Jr., and Tiffany Boulos, formerly Trump, as part of the delegation. Eric Trump will serve as the delegation chair, placing his father's name in for the nomination.
The delegates will represent Florida at the Republican National Convention in Milwaukee this July. Ivanka Trump, another child of the former president, is the only one staying out of politics, having previously served as a senior advisor in the Trump administration.
Florida's Republican Party Chair, Evan Power, expressed his satisfaction with the selection, stating, "We are fortunate to have a great group of grassroots leaders, elected officials, and members of the Trump family working together as part of the Florida delegation to the 2024 Republican National Convention."
The list of delegates also includes leaders across the GOP Florida ecosystem, such as officials who endorsed Gov. Ron DeSantis and other notable figures in the state's politics.
Melania Trump Shifts Focus to Family
The selection of Barron Trump as a delegate comes at a time when his mother, Melania Trump, has reportedly shifted her focus towards her family, rather than her husband's 2024 presidential campaign. The former first lady has been noticeably absent from campaign rallies and gatherings, preferring to spend time with her son.
A Close Race
Meanwhile, the 2024 presidential election is shaping up to be a close race between President Joe Biden and Donald Trump. As per a Benzinga article, both Biden and Trump have been the frontrunners in the 2024 election for months and are the betting favorites in the November election.
