Typically supporters of Donald Trump are thought to be the older generation, but a 12-year-old in Colorado has turned that notion on its head after playing an integral role in helping to run a campaign office.

Although Weston Imer's mother is the official field officer of record in Wheat Ridge, the schoolboy has been instructing volunteers on their duties and making phone calls to supporters.

"Get involved, kids need to be educated," Weston told Fox 31, before helping with final preparations for the campaign's grand opening on Saturday.

Although he has started his political career young, the schoolboy has set his sights on running for president in 2040 and said that he would select Barron Trump - The Donald's 10-year-old son - as his vice-presidential running mate.

Speaking about her son's choice of summer holiday activity in the crucial swing state, Laurel Imer said that "kids need to be educated" and encouraged people to get involved with the election.
