Former President Donald Trump’s youngest son, Barron Trump, will be one of more than 125 Florida delegates to the Republican National Convention, according to a statement the party Chair gave The Associated Press and a delegation roster shared with Florida Politics.
Republican Party of Florida (RPOF) Chair Evan Power said the 18-year-old high school senior will serve as one of 41 at large delegates from Florida to the national gathering, where the GOP is set to officially nominate his father as its presidential candidate for the November General Election.
NBC News first reported the choice of Barron Trump as a delegate. Attorney General Ashley Moody, Agriculture Commissioner Wilton Simpson and CFO Jimmy Patronis are also on the list.
So are Trump’s other two sons, Don Jr. and Eric, as well as Power, Senate President-designate Ben Albritton, House Speaker-designate Daniel Perez of Miami, former Attorney General Pam Bondi and ex-California District Attorney Kimberly Guilfoyle, who has been engaged to Don Jr. since 2020.
On Wednesday night, delegation members selected Eric Trump as delegation Chair and named several others to convention committee posts.
They chose Guilfoyle and Miami-Dade Commissioner Kevin Marino Cabrera, who became Florida GOP Vice Chair early this year, to co-lead the Platform Committee.
Power and National Committeewoman Kathleen King will Co-Chair the Rules Committee, while Sens. Joe Gruters of Sarasota and Debbie Mayfield of Melbourne will helm the Credentials Committee.
Members also tapped ex-U.S. Ambassador and former state Rep. Carlos Trujillo and Jacksonville state Rep. Jessica Baker to lead the Permanent Organization Committee.
But the headlines on Thursday belonged overwhelmingly to Barron Trump, who will be making his political debut at the convention in July. He has remained largely out of the public eye, but he turned 18 in March and is graduating from high school next week.
The Judge overseeing Donald Trump’s hush money trial in New York said there would be no court on May 17 so that Trump could attend his son’s graduation.
Trump’s youngest daughter, Tiffany, is also part of the Florida delegation to the convention, which is to run July 15-18 in Milwaukee.

My gosh. Florida politics is a real threat to the future of its education system and environment as long as it remains in Republican control. So sad for such a beautiful state!

There is a lot of natural beauty in Florida, but let’s face facts.
The ~30% of Florida residents who can leave for half the year every year do exactly that, without fail. They go back home where it’s much better to be, but it’s just too cold in the winter.

DSF, i counted 4 or 5 days of freezing weather here in the smokey mountain area of east tennessee. it’s just enough to freeze back the weeds and the insects. florida seems inhabitable to me since iv’e been gone for so long. florida is an unpleasant memory to me. and that was before maga. with maga and trump living in florida, it’s now HORRIBLE. i probably should back off on that, many can’t afford to leave. they could do the next best thing, drive the maga gop out of florida.

Fun Fact
Stormy Daniels testified that she ‘spanked Trump!” A Republican President who likes getting spanked because no one spanked him in his childhood.
Republicans are America’s worst enemy!
Vote all Republicans out of office!

Earl Pitts is such a narcissist–guess just like his idol, Donald Trump.
I can’t believe the nepotism in the delegates. Lord help us in this “state gone wrong”. I have nothing against Baron Trump, but seems a trifle young to be doing such a serious job or one that we should take seriously.

Not enough folks trust this Trump guy to participate in his delegation, knowing full well that when Trump sends something sideways and gets caught, Trump would send them directly under the bus.
So he got his children to participate.
How embarrassing!

My Take

Barron just dropped out.
I suspect Melania.

Yep, I’d say even his own third wife Melania doesn’t trust the Donaldzzzzzz enough to let her only son get caught up in his schemes due to the forecast.
And that forecast is 95% Probable Criminality
