President-elect Donald Trump's resounding victory over Vice President Kamala Harris last week is one for the history books, to say the least.
President Trump utilized some of the brightest and innovative minds in politics and campaigning to help push his "America First" message to the right people, but according to reports, his youngest son, Barron Trump, was instrumental in pushing his dad across the finish line.
Trump reportedly relied on his son's savvy regarding popular podcasts that reach large, young male audiences, which paid off, big time.
It was reported that Mr. Trump would often tell his campaign leadership to run any podcast appearances by his son first to see what he thought and if they would have the impact they were looking for.
Barron Trump is not only in tune with which podcast hosts are the most popular and influential, he's even friends with some of the biggest names in the business, which gave his father a cutting edge that Harris did not have.
The Cut called Barron Trump the "mastermind" behind the final push to have President Trump appear on a long list of popular podcasts that reached exactly the right audience.
The outlet noted:
In the lead-up to Election Day, Trump went on a slew of massively popular podcasts catering to right-leaning young male audiences. That demographic, white men ages 18 to 29, wound up voting for Trump by a 28-point margin. As it turns out, the mastermind behind this plan might have been Trump’s 18-year-old son, Barron.
Earlier on in the campaign, Alex Bruesewitz, described as a "hotshot political consultant," was tasked with coming up with a podcast interview plan for Mr. Trump.
The president immediately directed Alex to run his ideas by Barron first before agreeing to the schedule. Barron's input on the podcasters was critical in his father's campaign.
"Call Barron and see what he thinks and let me know," President Trump reportedly said when Bruesewitz said he hadn't ran his podcast plan by Mr. Trump's youngest son.
Trump fans across social media praised Barron Trump for his savvy on the subject.
"Lara Trump is right, Barron deserves some credit on his dad’s win. Barron Trump was the person behind his father, telling him which podcasts to go on, etc. The Democrats didn't prepare for this genius to get involved," one X user wrote.
