Report: Barron Trump's Republican 'influence' already very strong

If Barron Trump's goal is to one day become as influential as his father, then the young man is already off to a pretty good start.

Since Barron Trump has enrolled in college and publicly participated in his father's presidential campaign, conservative student groups across America have seen a surge in membership.

Some chapters around the country even doubled their membership as Trump marched back to the White House.

At New York University, where Barron Trump attends college, the results are VERY obvious.

Before Barron got to NYU, the school's Republican Club was experiencing a weekly attendance of about five people.

Now, on any given week, it's estimated that there are at least 40 students in attendance.

NYU's College Republican Club President, Kaya Walker, explained how Barron Trump's enrollment impacted the group:

Interest was piqued initially by the fact that Barron Trump had matriculated as a student at our business school, but the election motivated a lot of people to act.

Even though Barron Trump isn't a member of NYU's Republican club, that hasn't stopped the members from paying close attention to him.

"He's kind of watched like a zoo animal. He's very tall," Walker added. "People post pictures of him in class on their Instagram Story, and I think that's really strange."

It isn't happening just where Barron Trump goes to school, either. Barron's impact on young people is being felt across the country.

Penn State's Republican club has hit a new peak with 200 active members.

"The amount of people who are willing to go out there and support President Trump and to be vocal about being a conservative in general is so much higher," Tristin Kilgore, the club's vice president, said.

Kilgore added that America's college-aged students may have started trending more Republican in the wake of the pandemic.

"We were in high school, and it was a really tough time," Kilgore said. The student continued: "We're not supporting the people who were in favor of keeping us away from our friends and away from our schools and setting us back in life."

The University of Michigan's branch has seen an increase in popularity as well. Founded in 1892, it is the nation's oldest College Republican chapter and now boasts 445 members.
