In a presidential contest in which no demographic can be left behind, the Trump campaign has a unique resource to reach America’s youngest voters, according to a new report.
Far away from his father’s world of raucous rallies, Barron Trump is trying to build a social media campaign aimed at voters former President Donald Trump needs to reach in order to defeat Vice President Kamala Harris, according to the U.K.’s Daily Mail.
Bo Loudon, 17, an influencer and close friend of Barron Trump, is partnering with Barron to use their understanding of the social media landscape to connect with young voters.
The pair helped connect the former president with Kick influencer Adin Ross for a livestreamed interview that, according to The New York Times, had about 500,000 users watching.
The interview gave Trump “access to the millions of young, mostly male and right-leaning potential voters who follow Mr. Ross on social media,” the Times reported.
Trump himself sees Barron’s and Loudon’s “input as an asset,” the Daily Mail quoted what it said was an “insider” as saying.
“He has no issues turning to them for advice on a subject that many of his middle-aged campaign aides wouldn’t have much of a clue about,” the insider said.
Entrepreneur Justin Waller told the publication that Barron Trump and Loudon know more about the business world than many adults.
“I see them both being entrepreneurs. They are certainly going to pave their own path for themselves and it’s very clear to see that they’ll be quite successful,” Waller said.
“Donald Trump is just someone who is perpetually curious about new technologies and new ways to meet people and share his vision,” a supporter the Mail did not name said.

“He listens to everyone, no matter their race, demo, orientation, religion – or their age,” the supporter said.
Trump made a major strategy change Monday, appearing live on X with X owner Elon Musk, as noted by The Hill.
Listeners for the event peaked at 1 million.

Barron Trump heads off to college in the fall — though exactly where hasn’t been announced yet.
However, at Trump rallies, there is a hint there may be a political future in store, what with the presence of “Barron 2044” T-shirts while “Barron Trump For President 2044” buttons are sold online, according to Newsweek.
Trump needs a social media team that will keep trying to make viral videos. Hopefully ones showing the complete about face of Harris as media tries to reinvent her image. Her speeches where she talks about how she will fix things on day one, but she is IN POWER now and the last 4 years, and yet hasn’t done anything. A few viral tiktoks will reach a lot more younger people a lot faster than the regular ads they run. And Trump needs to focus, he is falling back on name calling when we all already know she is not the brightest, showcase it in her past clips in ads
