Former Democratic donor John Morgan credited Barron Trump, the son of President-elect Donald Trump, for being "smarter" than Vice President Kamala Harris' team for his alleged role in his father's re-election campaign.
Morgan, the founder of Morgan & Morgan, a Florida-based law firm that serves clients in all 50 states, said the younger Trump's reported push for his father to appear on the Joe Rogan Experience and other podcasts targeted to a younger male audience was crucial during an appearance on FOX News.
“It turns out that Barron Trump, who looks like a runway model, was telling his father, ‘You need to go on podcasts, you need to go on Joe Rogan,’” Morgan said.
The attorney, who publicly stated he wouldn't fundraise for Harris in July after he claimed President Joe Biden was "pushed" to end his 2024 election campaign, criticized the vice president for "avoiding" alternative media outlets.
“Look, if I’m running, I’m going to go on Rogan. I’m living on Fox. That’s how you change minds,” Morgan said. “They played hide the ball, they lost badly, [Harris] should go away and never, ever come back.”
Trump was credited for helping his father select recent podcast spots, which included an interview with Theo Von that garnered 14 million views.
"Dad, he's big. He's a big one," Trump reiterated to Von, quoting his son's endorsement of the show prior to the interview, according to the New York Post.
The 78-year-old also made recent appearance. on Logan Paul's Impaulsive podcast, Bussin' with the Boys, and taped an appearance on the Joe Rogan Experience on Friday (October 25), among several other shows with Gen Z and millennial male-dominated audiences.
Barron recently began college at New York University. The freshman was spotted with Secret Service agents on the NYU campus in several photos shared online prior to his father's confirmation.
In May, Barron was reported to have declined an offer to serve as a Florida delegate to the Republican National Convention, which would've marked his official jump into the political arena, due to "prior commitments," according to a statement shared by the office of his mother to the New York Post. The teenager would have joined his half-siblings Don Jr., Eric and Tiffany in representing the state's 41 at-large delegates, according to Florida GOP chair Evan Power.
