She’s bowing out over Barron Trump.
The president of New York University’s College Republicans club, Kaya J. Walker, resigned from the organization after her comment about President Trump’s son went viral over the weekend.
The college senior’s step down came one week after she spoke to Vanity Fair for a profile on Barron.
Walker called the 18-year-old “an oddity on campus,” quipping, “He goes to class, he goes home.”
She was subsequently advised to resign by the College Republicans of America — and submitted her resignation on Monday.
“I must consider the health of our organization,” Walker wrote in an open letter the following day. “I do apologize to everyone that I love and respect that was caught in the crosshairs of this willful and malicious misreading of my comment.”

She clarified to the New York Post that she was not “saying that Barron was strange for being a commuter” in her headline-making quote.
Walker, who commutes herself, added, “The look like I was calling the president’s son weird, but I feel like anybody who can read would know that’s not what I was doing.”
CRA president Will Donahue explained to The Post on Tuesday that Walker stepped down from the position “of her own volition.”
He claimed, “The conversation that we have with Kaya is, ‘Look, this is blowing up out of proportion, to protect your reputation and the organization, the prudent move would be for you to step down.'”
However, Walker now “regret[s] resigning.”
She noted that her family has received online hate amid the headlines, admitting, “I don’t know how I’m gonna get through this, honestly.”
Reports surfaced in April 2024 that Barron was heading to NYU for his freshman year.
He was photographed flanked by security guards during his first day of class that September, with People labeling him a “ladies’ man” on campus in December 2024.
A source told the outlet that “even liberal people like” Barron, who attended his father’s inauguration in January.
