Barron Trump’s Yerba Mate Startup Edges Toward Launch Amid Donor Ties

Barron Trump, 20, is listed as a director of Sollos Yerba Mate Inc., a Florida start‑up making pineapple- and coconut-flavored yerba mate drinks, with a May 2026 launch now planned. The company’s registration and a Palm Beach connection tie Barron to donor Jay Weitzman (whose grandson Spencer Bernstein also serves as a director), though Weitzman denies involvement. Critics warn the arrangement could raise ethics concerns given the president’s family ties, and Barron also has ties to the Trump crypto venture World Liberty Financial. Sollos promotes a South Florida lifestyle image, while some in the yerba mate community react skeptically to the family connections.

Florida Democrats flipped two seats in Tuesday’s special elections, including the Palm Beach County district that encompasses Mar-a-Lago, sparking optimism that the party is gaining footing for the 2026 midterms. While Republicans still outpace Democrats in voter registration and cautions that special elections don’t guarantee general-election outcomes persist, analysts say the results signal broader momentum, with Hispanic turnout and dissatisfaction over costs and inaction contributing to Democratic energy beyond Florida’s borders.
