Poll Reveals Americans’ Support For A Barron Trump Presidency

Much of modern U.S. politics has been defined by family dynasties, from the Bushes to the Clintons. If Barack Obama’s election upended that narrative, then Donald Trump’s 2016 victory over Hillary Clinton assuredly buried it.

Now in his second administration, President Trump and his family may rekindle Americans’ fawning for powerhouse political clans, and the most obvious successor may be his family’s youngest member.

Barron Trump, 19, is a long way from being legally old enough to run for president, but he is already drawing massive support among Republican voters eager to see the Trump family remain in power after President Trump leaves office in 2029. When Barron meets the minimum qualifications in 2041 — being a 35-year-old, natural-born U.S. citizen — he would start the race with 49% of the party behind him.

Another 37% of the GOP are unsure, while just 13% are opposed.

Crucially, Barron would immediately collect support from nearly 4 in 10 independent voters and 1 in 7 Democrats, affording him a springboard to make a splash into a crowded presidential field where his name would pay dividends.

For now, fans of the only son of Trump and First Lady Melania will have to remain content seeing him follow in his father’s corporate footsteps at New York University’s Stern School of Business. There, the telegenic and tall freshman has quietly kept his head down and studied hard while splitting time between his family’s Manhattan apartment and the White House.

Melania has remained extremely protective of Barron but encouraged him to take a strategic role in President Trump’s 2024 campaign, which paid off in a big way. She’s spoken proudly about how Barron encouraged his father to lean into the new-age realm of conservative podcasting as the best way to reach a younger generation of voters disaffected by DEI and “woke” culture but unsure about whether voting would make a difference.

“He’s a grown young man. I’m very proud of him, about his knowledge even about politics, and giving advice to his father. He brought in so many young people. He knows his generation. Because nowadays the young generation—they don’t sit in front of the TV anymore. They’re all on the tablets, on their phones, and all of these podcasts and streamers,” Melania explained in an interview last year. “He was very vocal and he gave advice to his father, and it was incredible how he brought in success because he knew exactly who his father needs to contact and to talk to.”

Asked if she was shocked how quickly Barron went from a “little boy” walking the halls of the West Wing to being at the right hand of his father for a second administration, Melania responded without hesitation. “Yes, it is,” she said with a smile.

Barron was last seen at his father’s side on Inauguration Day when he went out of his way to shake the hands of Joe Biden and Kamala Harris, a gesture that many viewers called a “classy” move by the politically savvy, 6’7″ student.
