Former President Donald Trump’s youngest son, Barron Trump, has been selected as an at-large delegate for Florida by the Florida GOP for the Republican National Convention. This decision comes alongside other family members such as Donald Trump Jr., Eric Trump, and Tiffany Trump, as well as Trump’s friend Steve Witkoff and ally Sergio Gor. The Trump campaign has yet to comment on the selection, which was first reported by NBC News.
Before Donald Trump’s hush money criminal trial began, his attorneys had requested a day off on May 17 so that he could attend Barron’s graduation. The judge approved the request, stating that things were moving quickly enough to allow Trump to attend the graduation without causing any delays in the trial. Barron’s graduation was a significant enough event for the former president to request time off from his legal proceedings.
The Republican National Committee is set to hold its convention in Milwaukee in July, and the Secret Service has been asked to ensure the safety of attendees by keeping protesters at a distance. RNC counsel Todd Steggerda wrote to the city of Milwaukee expressing concerns about the proposed proximity of demonstrators to attendees, stating that it created an unnecessary safety risk. The Secret Service confirmed that the operational security plan for the convention is being developed with coordination from various agencies to ensure the highest level of safety and security.
Donald Trump, the presumptive Republican presidential nominee, has hinted at announcing his running mate around the time of the RNC convention in July. He has been considering several potential names for the position and has been discussing his options publicly and privately. As the convention approaches, there is anticipation around who Trump will choose as his running mate and how it will impact the upcoming election.
The inclusion of Barron Trump as a delegate for the Republican National Convention adds to the list of family members and close associates who will be part of the event. With Donald Trump Jr., Eric Trump, Tiffany Trump, Steve Witkoff, and Sergio Gor also selected as delegates, the Trump family will have a significant presence at the convention. The selection of these individuals highlights the close-knit relationships within Trump’s inner circle.
As preparations for the Republican National Convention continue, the focus is on ensuring the safety and security of all attendees. The involvement of the Secret Service in developing the operational security plan for the event underscores the importance of maintaining a high level of protection. With concerns raised about protester proximity and safety risks, efforts are being made to address these issues and create a secure environment for the convention.
