Update

3:25 PM – Friday, May 10, 2024: The story has been updated to reflect the news that Barron Trump will no longer be a delegate at the 2024 Republican convention.

The youngest son of 45^th President Donald J. Trump, Barron Trump, has been selected by the Florida GOP to serve as an at-large delegate for Florida at the Republican National Convention.

The 6-foot-7-inch 18-year-old was selected alongside his older siblings Eric Trump, Tiffany Trump, Don Jr. Trump, and his girlfriend, Kimberly Guilfoyle.

Eric Trump will be the one to place his father’s name in for the nomination, as he was selected to serve as the delegation chair.

“We have a great delegation of grassroots leaders, elected officials and even Trump family members,” Florida GOP chairman Evan Power said. “Florida is continuing to have a great convention team, but more importantly we are preparing to win Florida and win it big.”

A Trump campaign official said that the former president’s son “is very interested in our nation’s political process.”

On Friday, it was announced that Barron had to decline his invitation due to “prior commitments.”

“While Barron is honored to have been chosen as a delegate by the Florida Republican Party, he regretfully declines to participate due to prior commitments,” said a statement from the office of former First Lady Melania Trump.

The Republican National Convention will take place in Milwaukee, Wisconsin from July 15^th-18^th.
