(DailyAnswer.org) – Barron Trump, son of former President Donald Trump, cast his first vote for his father in the recent election, according to a post from his mother, Melania Trump. On Tuesday, the former First Lady proudly shared this news on X, formerly known as Twitter, with a photo of Barron at the voting booth. “Voted for the first time – for his dad!” she wrote, adding hashtags like #18yearsold and #presidentialelection to celebrate the moment.
The Trumps voted in person at the Mandel Recreation Center in Palm Beach, Florida. Barron, now 18 and a freshman at NYU’s Stern School of Business, has grown up in the public eye, especially during his father’s previous presidency. Now, he is not only showing support by voting but also helping with his father’s campaign, particularly in connecting with younger voters.
One way Barron has been involved is by helping to shape the campaign’s podcast strategy. According to Jason Miller, a senior adviser for Trump, Barron has suggested various podcasts for his father to appear on, with every one of his picks gaining a lot of attention online. “Hats off to the young man,” Miller said, noting that Barron’s recommendations have been “absolute ratings gold” and have helped the campaign reach a younger, digital-savvy audience.
This year, Donald Trump’s team has made a strong effort to appeal to Gen Z voters, who are increasingly influential in elections. The campaign has tapped into social media and popular online platforms, areas where Barron’s insights have proven valuable. In fact, Trump even credited his son for encouraging him to appear on high-profile shows like the Joe Rogan Podcast to reach young male voters.
In a rally at Madison Square Garden, Trump referred to Barron as the “king of the Internet,” applauding his knowledge of Gen Z trends. This connection with young voters might just be one of the ways Trump hopes to bridge generational gaps and reach an audience that was once thought to lean away from his base.
As Barron steps into the spotlight both as a voter and as a campaign helper, his role highlights how family connections can extend into political outreach—especially in the digital era.
