NYU President of College Republicans Steps Down After Barron Trump Remark

I was surprised to see the headline “NYU College Republicans resign” suddenly trending, but it turns out their chapter president, Kaya Walker, stepped down after her controversial comments about Barron Trump. Barron, now a freshman at NYU’s Stern School of Business, was described as an “oddity” on campus by Walker during a recent interview. She also mentioned a professor’s offhand remark that he “doesn’t really belong here,” likely referencing the university’s progressive bent.

What Prompted the Backlash

Walker’s remarks didn’t sit well with fellow Republicans—especially the national College Republicans of America (CRA). They felt the conversation about Trump’s 18-year-old son was unnecessary and out of line. The CRA stepped in, noting that Vanity Fair might have framed the quotes unfairly, but still deemed Walker’s comments “inappropriate.” As a result, NYU College Republicans resign became the headline when she handed in her resignation last week.

CRA’s Response and Invitation

The CRA, which broke from tradition by endorsing Donald Trump early in the primaries, released a statement reaffirming their support for the former president. They also extended a personal invite for Barron to join them, calling him “the future of the conservative movement.” The group’s president, Will Donahue, added that Barron has shown “resilience” and “courage,” qualities they believe fit well with the organization’s mission. Even with NYU College Republicans resign in the news, CRA insists the situation won’t derail their commitment to the Trump family or conservative ideals.

Where Things Stand Now

Walker’s resignation leaves the NYU College Republicans searching for a new chapter president. Meanwhile, Barron continues his studies, drawing attention mostly because of his famous last name and occasional run-ins with students and professors. While it’s unclear how this resignation will affect campus politics, one thing’s for sure: public remarks about high-profile figures—even fellow students—can carry big consequences in the ever-charged political climate.
