The famously tall teenage son of GOP presidential candidate Donald Trump looked towering in the photo as he cast his vote wearing a dark suit and polished shoes. No points for guessing who he voted for.

Donald Trump shares the advice he got from son Barron Trump

During a recent campaign rally in North Carolina, Donald Trump revealed what his son Barron Trump told him as Election Day drew closer, according to the Daily Mail.

The GOP candidate said, "I have a guy who’s home with the first lady. He’s very smart. He’s 18 years old. And he gives me good advice."

He added, "'Dad: take it easy, now. You just take it easy dad, alright? You don’t have to go too much here.' He gives me good – he’s very wise."

Trump also revealed in the same rally that his daughter, Ivanka, called him to "send her love to everybody" at the rally.

In October, Trump revealed that Barron helped him "a little bit" with his strategies in reaching out to Generation Z voters, a coveted voting bloc in the 2024 presidential election, according to the Washington Examiner.

Barron advised his father on who he should do podcast interviews with, including people the former president had "never heard of".

This year, Trump did podcast interviews with people like social media influencers and WWE stars Logan Paul and Lex Friedman, to reach out to voters between the age of 18 and 29.

Trump said in an interview on Fox News’ 'Sunday Morning Futures with Maria Bartiromo', "A little bit, I mean, he tells me about all the hot guys, people I’d never heard of, 'Dad, that guy is hot'."
