The nation has entered a new era as Donald Trump has beaten Kamala Harris in the Presidential race. Already, world leaders across the globe have congratulated the Republican candidate, who was president from 2016 to 2020.
The former president has a sure route into the White House as he has swept up a number of key states in the electoral college. On top of this, the Republican party is projected to win majority control of the Senate.

But it was his son Barron Trump's appearance that stole the show at the Florida rally, as he appeared alongside his father and mom Melania, towering over them.

Donald's apparent victory means that he and Melania will return to the White House, but it remains to be seen whether their son will join them.
Barron has just started at New York University's Stern School of Business, where he has been living in the family's lavish Manhattan home.

When his father first moved to Washington DC's most treasured piece of real estate in 2016, it took Barron and Melania some time to tie up loose ends in Manhattan.
At the age of 10, Barron moved to the White House in January 2017, although he was hesitant about the move, having had to leave behind his friends at his esteemed Manhattan school. He moved to St. Andrew's Episcopal School in Maryland, for which the fees are an eye-popping $52,535 as of 2024-2025.

But I tell him if this happens, Daddy will help people, and can help children like him, and that makes him happy. He's a young boy who is 9 years old and he is strong and smart and he gets it. He sees it."
