Barron Trump, former President Donald Trump’s only child with Melania Trump, has been selected as a Florida delegate for the Republican National Convention.

He’ll be one of 41 at-large delegates for Florida, joined by half siblings Eric Trump, Donald Trump Jr., and Tiffany Trump. The position serves as Barron’s political debut, and RNC delegates have an important job.

Barron is one of 2,429 delegates who will vote for the Republican nominee at the 2024 RNC in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. Donald Trump has already clinched the nomination, and according to a Florida law that dictates delegates follow the primary results — Trump won all delegates in Florida in the primary — Barron will have to vote for his father.

In some states, that would not be the case. While Republican Party rules dictate pledged electors vote for the candidate that fulfilled the criteria for them to be assigned to a candidate, it is not illegal to vote for someone else in some states. 

While Barron has a familial advantage, most delegates are party workers or former politicians themselves. Barron and his family’s position as delegates appears unique in the RNC’s history. Donald Trump Jr. previously held a position as a New York delegate in 2016.

Trump’s only other significant competition and current second-place spot holder in delegates — former South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley — dropped out in March. 

Some argue that Barron’s new position has opened him up for scrutiny by the public.

The Trump campaign told the Washington Examiner that Barron “has an interest in national politics.” The 18-year-old is set to graduate high school next week as his father was recently granted a reprieve from appearing in a New York courtroom so he can attend the graduation ceremony.

The delegate job is the first significant sign of what Barron will do after his high school graduation.
