Donald Trump has claimed his wife will be "active" by his side in 2024 - and he disclosed how tall his pampered son Barron really is.

In an interview, the ex-President disclosed the height of his 17-year-old son Barron as he claimed that his wife Melania will be "active" in his 2024 presidential campaign, despite her noticeable absence from his victory speech in New Hampshire. There have long been rumours the Slovenian-American former model is trying to distance herself from her husband and his many legal woes.

In an interview conducted Tuesday morning as voters began to gather at the polls for the New Hampshire primary, the former president said he looks to his first lady for guidance and commended her for her compassion. "She wants to make America great again, too," he gushed.

"I rely on her for advice and all the others. I think she will be very active in the sense of being active." In addition, Trump said that he was worried about his family, who have been the subject of "unfair" insults ever since he took office and began his presidential campaign.

"They did tremendous job in terms of economic development and jobs, every one of them," he said of his family. Speaking about Barron, he disclosed that he is 6 feet 8 inches tall. Last week, the teenager attended his grandmother Amalija Knavs' burial with his father. In addition, Trump disclosed during his Iowa caucus win speech that Barron's height is due to him eating all of his late grandmother's meals and that he prefers soccer to shooting hoops.

With Nikki Haley as his final opponent, Trump leads her by 20 points heading into the New Hampshire primary. He has a good chance of repeating his overwhelming triumph in Iowa and securing the Republican nominee for president.

Since Ron DeSantis announced his withdrawal on Sunday, Trump has arranged a forceful display of support and endorsements. At campaign rallies, he has invited past opponents, such as Tim Scott and Vivek Ramaswamy, to the platform as "Avengers Assemble," according to a senior campaign assistant.

Entering the Republican race, he now has the opportunity to duplicate his overwhelming victory in the Iowa caucus, defeat his last opponent, Haley, and secure the nomination. The GOP has aligned itself around Trump and declared him the one candidate capable of defeating Biden in 2024, while the other competitors have halted their campaigns.

According to the most recent J.L. Partners poll, Trump has 57% of the vote against Haley's 37%. One day prior, Haley was only lagging by ten points and appeared to have a chance of winning provided Democrats and independents came out in support of her.

In the last day of the survey, which involved 851 respondents, Trump led Haley by 40 points among those questioned by J.L. Partners. She might find it difficult to narrow the deficit even if she witnesses a surge in support from undeclared voters of New Hampshire.

"Add in the fact Haley voters are lacking enthusiasm, and Trump looks set for a landslide victory. The whiff of inevitability now surrounds Donald Trump. If this poll is accurate, then the primary contest ends tonight," J.L. Partners co-founder James Johnson.
