College Republican clubs across the US are experiencing a boom in membership, fueled by the election of Donald Trump and interest in Barron Trump, the president-elect's son, attending NYU. Students express a newfound optimism for conservatism and a willingness to be more vocal about their political beliefs.
Students are proudly wearing their MAGA hats on campus, membership numbers have doubled and in New York, the club is fielding many enquiries about Barron Trump ,“Interest was piqued initially by the fact that Barron Trump had matriculated as a student at our business school, but the election motivated a lot of people to act,” said Kaya Walker, president of NYU’s College Republican Club.“It’s more curiosity than anything.
Regardless, membership in the club has soared, according to Walker, who is a senior studying French. She has been a member of the school’s College Republicans chapter since her freshman year and over the course of her time at NYU, attendance at weekly meetings has grown from about five to 40. Alexander Richmond, president of the University of Michigan’s chapter, also says his numbers are up by about a third.
Matthew Trott, president of UNC’s College Republicans Club, told The Post its membership more than doubled in the two months leading up to the election, from 120 members to 250.
