Donald Trump Jr. has reportedly played a major role in helping to determine who will hold positions within his father's new administration.

Yet according to Republican National Committee (RNC) Co-Chair Lara Trump, the president-elect's youngest son Barron is making moves as well. 

Lara Trump: "We have to give Barron some serious credit"

The Independent noted how Mrs. Trump spoke positively of 18-year-old brother in-law during a recent interview with podcast host Patrick Bet-David.

"He is going to do really incredible things," Mrs. Trump said of Barron. "There have been many times I’ve been traveling over the course of the campaign with my father-in-law in the car."

"Barron will call and say, 'Dad, I have an idea of how you can get more votes,' and it’ll be, you know, 'You need to go to this baseball stadium' or whatever," Mrs. Trump explained.

The RNC co-chair added that Barron is "always throwing ideas out there," adding, "We have to give Barron some serious credit."

Trump adviser: Barron decided which podcasts his father should go on

Lara Trump isn't the only one who has sung Barron's praises, as longtime Trump adviser Jason Miller did so as well last month.

"Barron has been very involved in recommending a number of the podcasts that we should do," the New York Post quoted Miller as telling Politico's "Playbook Deep Dive."

"I got to tell you, hats off to the young man. Every single recommendation he’s had has turned out to be absolute ratings gold that’s broke the internet. He’s done a great job," Miller stressed.

"When you look at the impact of podcasts or YouTube shows — non-traditional media — part of the thing is you’re meeting voters where they're at," the adviser went on to point out.

Podcast hosts say Barron came off as being "very balanced" at dinner event

Meanwhile, Bet-David spoke with fellow podcasters Tom Ellsworth and Vincent Oshana earlier this year about attending a dinner at Mar-a-Lago which Barron had hosted. 

Ellsworth remarked that Barron "wasn't snide, he wasn't telling dirty jokes" and instead came off as being "very, very balanced, talking about getting ready to go to college."

Oshana agreed, describing the president-elect's youngest son as being a "witty, smart, hilarious" individual who has "a good head on his shoulders."
