Trump Reveals Where Barron Will Attend College

On Tuesday, President Donald Trump shared where his youngest son, Barron Trump, will be attending college this fall, though he kept the specific details under wraps.

Trump offered a few clues without revealing too much. When asked about Barron’s plans for college, he said, “We’re going to announce it soon. He’s all set in a certain school that’s very good.”

A reporter inquired, “Is it in New York?”

Trump confirmed, “It’s in New York,” during a conversation with the New York Post. “I’ll tell you soon. I’ll tell you after this. I’ll tell you off the record.” Barron, who has generally remained out of the public eye compared to his siblings, has been commended by his father as a “very good student, smart.”

This has sparked speculation about whether Barron will attend a prestigious university like NYU or Columbia, as other notable individuals have.

Meanwhile, Trump has regained a slight lead over Vice President Kamala Harris in a new national poll, potentially indicating that her “honeymoon” phase with voters might be waning after President Joe Biden exited the race in July.

A newly released Fox News poll shows Trump edging out Harris by just 1 point, 50-49 percent, a difference within the poll’s margin of error. Last month, the results were similarly close, with Harris trailing Trump by one point, 48-49%, a result mirrored by President Joe Biden before he left the race.

Since the previous poll, several significant events have occurred. Trump survived an assassination attempt, selected Sen. J.D. Vance as his running mate, and officially received the Republican nomination. On the Democratic side, Biden was removed from the ticket, and Harris was nominated despite not having won any primary votes.

Slightly more Democrats support Harris (94%) than the percentage of Republicans backing Trump (93%), with Independents favoring Trump by 8 points. Trump retains 95% of his 2020 supporters, while Harris keeps 93% of Biden’s 2020 voters.

New voters, who haven’t participated in the last four general elections, are evenly split, with 49% supporting each candidate, a shift from last month when they leaned toward Trump over Biden by 7 points, according to Fox.

There is a 22-point gender gap, with men favoring Trump by 12 points and women preferring Harris by 10, the outlet reported.

In the broader presidential race, both Harris and Trump each garner 45% of the vote, while support for Kennedy stands at 6%. The remaining candidates each draw 1% of the vote. Kennedy’s support has dropped from 10% in July and a high of 15% in November 2023. Among those backing Harris in a head-to-head matchup, 7% shift their support to third-party candidates, compared to 9% of Trump supporters who do the same, according to the poll.

Harris has a slight advantage in personal likability, with a 3-point negative net rating—48% of voters view her favorably, while 51% have an unfavorable opinion of her.

In comparison, Trump has a 6-point negative net rating, with 47% viewing him favorably and 53% unfavorably. However, these are his best ratings in over four years. Both candidates have seen improvements since last month, when Harris had a 10-point negative net rating, and Trump was at negative 12.

Biden’s favorability rating is significantly lower at 38%, with 61% viewing him unfavorably—his worst rating since before his selection as Barack Obama’s running mate in 2008.

Among the candidates, Walz stands out with a net positive rating: 41% view him favorably, while 39% have an unfavorable opinion, and 16% are unfamiliar with him.

Vance has a 13-point negative net rating (38% favorable, 51% unfavorable), with 9% not recognizing him. Interestingly, 21% of Republicans have a negative view of Vance, while only 10% of Democrats view Walz negatively, the survey found.

“Equal numbers of those preferring Harris and Trump say they are extremely motivated about voting this year (68% each). Last month, Trump backers (66%) were 5 points more likely than Biden supporters (61%) to say they were extremely motivated,” Fox reported.
