Previously, it was reported in the news that former President Trump's 18-year-old son Barron Trump (Barron Trump) is about to make his political debut and has been nominated to represent Florida at the Republican National Convention in July.
But the latest news shows that a senior adviser to the Trump campaign and a statement from Melania Trump's office said Barron Trump has declined to be a delegate to the Republican National Convention this summer.
A statement from Melania Trump's office said: "While Barron was honored to be elected by the Florida Republican Party as a representative, he regrettably declined due to the 'business arrangement.'" ”
Barron, who turned 18 in March, was elected by the Florida Republican Party as the general delegate to the July convention. Among all 41 party representatives in the entire state, in addition to Barron, there are many members of the Trump family, including Trump's eldest son Donald Trump Jr., second son Eric Trump, and second daughter Tiffany Trump, but the eldest daughter Ivanka Trump, who served as a White House adviser, is not on the list.
The Republican Party will hold its national convention in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, July 15-18, where thousands of delegates from Florida and the country will officially nominate Trump to represent the party for president. Trump has said he is likely to announce his running mates around the July Republican National Committee convention and has proposed several candidates in public and private.
As for Barron himself will graduate from high school on the 17th of this month, Trump has been approved by a Manhattan court to take a leave of absence from the hush money case hearing to attend Barron's graduation ceremony.
Trump praised Barron in a radio interview on Friday and said his 18-year-old son sometimes offered him political advice.
"He's a great guy. I can tell you that he's a bit on the high side. He was tall. But he was good-looking, had a good academic record, and was very fond of politics. Trump said in an interview, "It's kind of funny, and he sometimes tells me, 'Dad, here's what you have to do.'" ”
Earlier, the report quoted a Republican election official as saying that Barron was very interested in politics.
Barron was born in March 2006, Trump was only 10 years old when he was elected president in 2016, and stayed in New York with his mother Melania before moving into the White House.
Before the age of 18, he almost never appeared in public photos of his siblings with Trump.
Trump said of his youngest son: "In short, he is a good man. He's going to college soon. You know, a lot of college options are changing, because you see what happened last month, Biden has completely lost control of the country. ”
The analysis believes that even if Barron refuses to become a party representative, this still reflects the ubiquity of the Trump family in the Republican political arena, among which the second son Eric will serve as the chairman of the Florida delegation, and Eric's wife Lara Trump (Lara Trump) was also elected as the co-chair of the Republican National Committee (RNC) in March this year.
