The position as an at-large delegate for the Florida Republican Party will be the highest-profile political role thus far for Barron, former President Donald Trump’s youngest son.

It will soon be Barron Trump’s time to step into the political spotlight.

Trump, former President Donald Trump’s youngest child, who will graduate from high school next week and has largely been kept out of the political spotlight, was picked by the Republican Party of Florida on Wednesday night as one of the state’s at-large delegates to the Republican National Convention, according to a list of delegates obtained by NBC News.

In a family full of politically involved children, Barron Trump, who turned 18 in March, has retained much more of a private life than his older brothers, Eric Trump and Donald Trump Jr., both of whom will also be Florida at-large RNC delegates, along with Trump’s daughter Tiffany.

    The Kennedys, I can see to an extent. The Clinton’s and Bushes, not at even close…the Bushes had a kid in entertainment news, and Jeb, who no one laughs at (out of politeness)

      Bush Sr was head of the CIA, Vice President, then President. One Son became Governor of the 2nd largest State (Texas) and then became a 2 term US President. His other Son went on to become Governor of the 4th largest State (Florida) and may have become President if his older brother hadn’t fucked it up quite so badly. The Bush Family was very close to a Kennedy level dynasty.

      The Clinton Family tried really hard to get there. Bill was Governor of Arkansas and went on to become a 2 Term President while Hillary went on to become a Senator, Sec of State, and came within a whisker of being President herself. The only thing preventing a further run at “Dynasty” is that, at least so far, Chelsea isn’t showing any interest in politics.
