The president of the New York University College Republicans, Kaya Walker, resigned after controversial remarks about Barron Trump. In an interview with Vanity Fair on February 12, Walker described Barron as “an oddity on campus,” noting he only “goes to class, he goes home.” She also recounted a professor’s joke suggesting Barron didn’t “belong here,” referencing the school’s liberal politics. Following backlash, the College Republicans of America (CRA) issued a statement condemning Walker’s comments, stating they did not align with the organization’s values. The CRA invited Barron to join their efforts in reshaping the Republican Party, praising his resilience and leadership qualities.
