“So, Barron Trump has been kind of private, doesn't necessarily attend many of the events or joins the campaign. So, it will be interesting to see how he now enters the political scene, interacts with other members of the party, with members of the Trump campaign, and I think this signifies the support that former President Donald Trump has from his family for most of his children to join as members of the Florida delegation at such an important event, which is the Republican convention.”
