Barron's mother, First Lady Melania Trump, previously confirmed that her son played a major role in his father's successful 2024 presidential campaign during an appearance on FOX & Friends last month.

“He brought in so many young people. He knows his generation because nowadays the young generation, they don’t sit in front of TV anymore,” Melania said.

“They are all on the tablets, they are on the phones and all of these podcasts and streamers,” she added.

Barron was reportedly "very vocal" in giving "advice to his father," with his mother saying it was “incredible how he brought in success because he knew exactly who his father needs to contact and to talk to.”

President Trump previously revealed that his teenage son was influential in him doing interviews on podcasts targeting a younger male demographic, which included appearances on the Joe Rogan Experience, This Past Weekend with Theo Von, Flagrant with comedian Andrew Schulz, Logan Paul's Impaulsive and Barstool Sports' Bussin' with the Boys. Barron recently began college at New York University.

The freshman was spotted with Secret Service agents on the NYU campus in several photos shared online prior to his father's confirmation. In May, Barron was reported to have declined an offer to serve as a Florida delegate to the Republican National Convention, which would've marked his official jump into the political arena, due to "prior commitments," according to a statement shared by the office of his mother to the New York Post.

The teenager would have joined his half-siblings Don Jr., Eric and Tiffany in representing the state's 41 at-large delegates, according to Florida GOP chair Evan Power.
