Barron Trump cast a ballot for the first time on Tuesday - making his voice heard in an election that proved to be a historic triumph for his father, Donald Trump.
Former and First Lady Melania Trump, who is actually the future First Lady as well, shared the touching photo of her son at a polling place near their home in Palm Beach, Florida on Tuesday.
The picture shows Barron, in a suit, looking like a younger version of his dad - who hours later won a second non-consecutive term, pulling off the greatest comeback in American political history.
President Trump defied incredible odds, overcoming multiple indictments, a conviction and two assassination attempts to score a resounding popular mandate.
As the results came in on Tuesday night, Melania shared a photo of Barron casting his ballot, writing, "Voted for the first time - for his dad!"

The image of Barron at the voting booth places his father's incredible comeback in perspective: when President Trump won his first historic upset in 2016, Barron was still a little boy.
Now a college freshman, Barron played a role in his father's 2024 campaign, helping him reach young male voters in a series of podcasts.
President Trump's victory caps off a dramatic and emotional year for the Trump family, who witnessed Donald dodge an assassin's bullet by the grace of God in Butler, Pennsylvania - before another lunatic tried to kill Trump at one of his golf courses.
Through it all, prosecutors aligned with Democrats have sought to put Trump in prison. With Trump having secured a second term, his legal woes are all but over, which must be a big relief to him and his family.
Barron made an appearance early Wednesday morning as his father delivered an emotional victory speech in Florida, flanked by his family.
“I want to thank the American people for the extraordinary honor of being elected your 47th president and your 45th president,” Trump said.
"This was a movement like no one has ever seen before. Frankly, I believe this was the greatest political movement of all time.”
Barron definitely has some big shoes to fill. He should be extremely proud of his father and his extraordinary accomplishment.
