TALLAHASSEE, Fla. — It will soon be Barron Trump’s time to step into the political spotlight. The youngest child of former President Donald Trump, who will graduate high school next week and has largely been kept out of the political spotlight, on Wednesday night was picked by the Republican Party of Florida as one of the state’s at-large delegates to the Republican National Convention, according to a list of delegates obtained by NBC News.
The Trump family will have an outsized impact on Florida’s RNC delegation. Eric Trump is the delegation’s chairman and joined Power, the Florida GOP chairman, on a phone call with party leaders Wednesday night. Trump has won the state twice, including by more than three percentage points during his 2020 failed re-election bid, and the state party has largely lined up behind his 2024 presidential bid even before he was the formal nominee.
