Melania Trump To Make Rare Appearance At Republican Convention: Report

Melania Trump, the former first lady, is reportedly set to attend the upcoming Republican convention.

What Happened: The convention, scheduled for next week, will be held in Milwaukee, Wis., where her husband, former President Donald Trump, will accept the party’s nomination. However, it is still unclear whether Melania Trump will deliver any remarks at the event, reported The Hill citing a source familiar with the matter

Despite her attendance at the convention, Melania Trump has largely been absent from her husband’s 2024 White House bid. She has not joined him at any of his campaign rallies and did not appear on stage with him following victories in the Iowa caucuses, New Hampshire primary, or Super Tuesday primaries. She also did not attend the first debate between Trump and President Joe Biden.

Why It Matters: Melania Trump’s decision to attend the convention is a significant departure from her recent behavior. Since leaving the White House in 2021, Melania has maintained a low profile, distancing herself from her husband and the political scene in Washington.

She has been noticeably absent from campaign rallies and gatherings, even those held at the couple's Mar-a-Lago home. Moreover, Melania Trump was absent throughout the former president's trial in New York City, where he was eventually found guilty on 34 felony counts of falsifying business records in connection to a hush money scheme during the 2016 campaign.
