Up until now, Barron Trump has stayed out of the political and public spotlight as he focused on his studies. His name was thrust into the public sphere recently after concerns were raised by his father that he may not be able to attend his son's graduation due to his ongoing "hush money" trial in New York City.
However, the judge overseeing the trial said there would be no court on May 17 so that Trump could attend his son’s graduation.

"We are fortunate to have a great group of grassroots leaders, elected officials, and members of the Trump family working together as part of the Florida delegation to the 2024 Republican National Convention," Power said in an emailed statement to The Associated Press.
The former president officially became the presumptive Republican presidential nominee on March 12 when Georgia, Mississippi and Washington state held primaries. He called it a "really great day of victory" in a video message to supporters.
