Barron Trump 'declines' to be Republican delegate [1] ['Rob Beschizza'] Date: 2024-05-11 Barron Trump, the son of former president Donald Trump and his wife Melania, has "declined" the Florida Republican Party's offer to anoint him a party delegate to the Republican National Convention. Reacting to what would have marked his youngest child's political debut, the ex-president said he was "all for it". But former First Lady Melania Trump now appears to have shot down the idea. "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," a spokeswoman for Mrs Trump said in a statement, first reported by the Daily Mail.
