Adding to the confusion, the outlet noted, “It’s now unclear if he will even attend the convention, which takes place in Milwaukee from Monday, July 15 to Thursday, July 18.”
In addition to Barron, Trump’s younger daughter, Tiffany, and older sons Donald Trump Jr. and Eric, were invited by the Florida Republican Party to support Trump’s candidacy at the convention. Eric Trump is set to serve as the delegation’s chairman, as reported by NBC.
Florida GOP chairman Evan Power expressed enthusiasm, stating, “We have a great delegation of grassroots leaders, elected officials and even Trump family members. Florida is continuing to have a great convention team, but more importantly, we are preparing to win Florida and win it big.”
Former President Donald Trump, now 77, has previously secured Florida in both the 2016 and 2020 elections. He narrowly defeated former First Lady Hillary Clinton by just over 1 percent in 2016 and achieved a more significant victory over Democratic nominee Joe Biden with a 3.3 percent margin in 2020.
Among the prominent at-large delegates invited to the Republican National Convention are several of Trump’s staunch supporters. NBC’s report lists “Kimberly Guilfoyle, Donald Trump Jr.’s fiancée; Michael Boulous, Tiffany Trump’s husband; former state Attorney General Pam Bondi, a longtime Trump ally who has run pro-Trump super PACs; longtime Trump adviser Sergio Gor; former Marvel Entertainment Chairman Ike Perlmutter, a prominent Trump donor; and a series of state-level Republican politicians who took the risk of endorsing Trump over [Gov. Ron] DeSantis.”
NBC emphasized the notable rivalry between Trump and Florida Governor Ron DeSantis, both of whom vied for the Republican presidential nomination. The report highlights that Florida GOP members “largely lined up behind” Trump, even as their governor was actively campaigning in the Republican primary.
The loyalty pledge requirement, which would have compelled GOP presidential candidates to support the eventual Republican nominee to appear on the state’s March 19 primary ballot, was removed in September. This proposal, backed by Trump, faced opposition from DeSantis’ campaign, NBC reported.

NBC and Axios sought comments from the Trump campaign regarding these developments but did not receive a response.
Barron Trump has also been in the spotlight recently due to his father’s legal battles. Donald Trump requested a break from his Manhattan trial to attend Barron’s high school graduation next week, a request granted by Judge Juan Merchan. The trial, which mainstream media often describe as involving “hush money payments to an adult film star,” actually focuses on the alleged falsification of business records and is anticipated to extend into late May or possibly June.
Axios observed that among Donald Trump’s children, only Ivanka Trump, who retired from political activities in 2022, was not invited to serve in Florida’s delegation to the convention.
