Donald Trump's Asking Barron for Advice on Young Voters, Ex-Official Says [View all]

Source: Newsweek

By Mandy Taheri

Former White House Chief of Staff Mick Mulvaney says Donald Trump is turning to his youngest son, Barron, for advice on attracting support from younger voters in his presidential campaign.

Mulvaney, NewsNation contributor and former Republican politician, told a Tuesday evening panel on the network that the former president is seeking input from his 18-year-old son on the mindset of voters his age and how to garner their support.

Barron Trump is the former president's only child with former first lady Melania Trump. He is increasingly getting more involved in his father's political scene, having received a standing ovation at a campaign rally in July. Previously not in the public political eye, Barron is still much more removed than some of Trump's other children, like Donald Jr. and Eric.

Weeks after his public political debut in July, Gen Z political influencer Bo Loudon called Barron one of his "best friends," in a post praising his father, the GOP presidential candidate.
