Barron Trump, despite being selected as an at-large delegate by the Florida Republican Party, has declined the position due to prior commitments.
President Trump’s Pride
As previously reported by The Gateway Pundit, President Trump expressed his pride in a video, stating, “To me, it’s very cute because he’s a very young guy, and he’s graduating from high school this year.”
Barron’s Decline Due to Prior Commitments
It has been revealed that Barron has “regretfully declined” to serve as a delegate for Florida. Melania Trump’s Office confirmed this in a statement saying, “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.”

Public Disappointment
According to The Hill, Barron Trump’s decision is seen as a disappointment as it would have marked his first public involvement in politics. The Republican convention will take place in Milwaukee, Wis., in mid-July.
Upcoming Graduation
Barron, who celebrated his 18th birthday last month, is set to graduate from high school on May 17th. In an earlier report by The Gateway Pundit, Judge Juan Merchan initially refused to rule on whether President Trump could be excused from the “Hush Money” trial on May 17th for Barron’s graduation. However, he has since changed his mind and granted permission for Trump to attend his son’s graduation.
