The statement read, "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." This announcement follows the Florida Republican Party's earlier declaration that Barron, along with other members of the Trump family, had been selected as one of the state's delegates.
The Trump family members who were chosen include Eric Trump and Donald Trump Jr., the former president's older sons, as well as Kimberly Guilfoyle, Donald Trump Jr.'s girlfriend, and Tiffany Trump, the youngest daughter of the former president. These individuals have been more actively involved in Trump's campaign compared to Barron, who is due to graduate from high school next week and has maintained a distance from the political limelight during this campaign cycle.
