Barron Trump will join his brothers in nominating their father for president this summer, but one famous family member was left off Florida’s delegate list.
Florida resident Ivanka Trump is not one of the 125 delegates the state will send to the Republican National Convention to formally nominate Donald Trump as the Republican presidential candidate.
The former first daughter has stepped back from politics and it is unclear if she will attend the event, which will take place in Milwaukee from Monday, July 15 to Thursday, July 18.
However, Don Jr. and his fiancee Kimberly Guilfoyle, Eric Trump, Tiffany Trump and her husband Michael Boulos are at-large delegates along with their younger brother.
Barron Trump will be a delegate to nominate his father Donald Trump for president
Barron Trump was rarely seen during Trump’s years in the White House, mainly at the request of his mother Melania, who is known for being protective of her son.
Lara Trump, Eric’s wife, is vice chair of the Republican National Committee and will be at the convention in her official capacity.
The Florida Republican Party on Wednesday night chose Barron, 18, to join his older brothers for the event.
The only requirement to be a delegate is to live and vote in the state.
Barron graduates from Oxbridge Academy in suburban West Palm Beach next week.
During Trump’s years in the White House, he was rarely seen, mainly at the request of his mother Melania, who is known for protecting her son.
He was at his father’s presidential announcement in 2016 and attended the Republican National Conventions in both 2016 and 2020.
But sources told DailyMail.com that the 6ft 7in teenager, who has never uttered a word in public, is a strong supporter of the Trump 2024 campaign behind the scenes.
Eric Trump will be the chairman of the Florida delegation, meaning he will formally put his father’s name forward for the nomination.
“We have a great delegation of grassroots leaders, elected officials and even members of the Trump family,” Florida Republican Party Chairman Evan Power said. “Florida still has a great convention team, but the most important thing is that we are preparing to win Florida and do it big.”

In Trump’s last two White House campaigns, Don Jr., Eric and Ivanka were heavily involved, speaking at their father’s rallies and campaigning for him. Tiffany joined her brothers in the 2020 campaign, but Barron stayed out of sight.
Ivanka, who served as her father’s senior adviser in the White House, made it clear that she was out of politics when Donald Trump announced he would run for president again.
“I love my father very much,” she said at the time. ‘This time, I choose to prioritize my young children and the private life we are creating as a family. I don’t plan to get involved in politics.’
Barron, who turned 18 last month, returned to the spotlight with Donald Trump’s secret trial when the former president argued that he should be allowed a break from the trial to attend Barron Trump’s high school graduation on may 17th.
Judge Juan Merchán agreed to allow the trial to be interrupted.
Donald Trump won Florida twice: in the 2016 and 2020 elections. But the state’s Republicans were in a tough spot in the 2020 GOP race because Gov. Ron DeSantis was making a bid.
In the end, DeSantis dropped out and endorsed Trump.

Now the list of delegates to the Republican convention is filled with Trump loyalists: former state Attorney General Pam Bondi, longtime Trump adviser Sergio Gor, major donors and Trump loyalists who backed Trump more than DeSantis.
