The president of New York University’s College Republicans faced backlash and resigned after referring to Barron Trump as “an oddity on campus.” The group then extended an invitation to Barron to join them in influencing the future of the Republican party.
Kaya Walker, who led NYU’s College Republicans of America chapter, stepped down following criticism of her comments about the 18-year-old son of President Trump. She described Barron as someone who simply goes to class and then goes home, which led to condemnation from the national CRA leadership.
After Walker’s resignation, CRA President Will Donahue invited Barron to join their organization, praising him as a representation of the conservative movement’s future. Donahue emphasized Barron’s resilience, courage, and humility as qualities that align with the group’s values.
While it remains uncertain if Barron accepted the invitation, the CRA highlighted their longstanding support for President Trump and how Barron’s presence at NYU has captured attention, despite challenges related to his father’s position.
Contrary to Walker’s views, other students at NYU have found Barron to be well-received on campus. Sources have mentioned his popularity and attractiveness, even among individuals with different political beliefs.
