ICARO Media Group
After months of keeping a low profile in the election campaign, former First Lady Melania Trump is scheduled to attend the Republican National Convention next week in Milwaukee, where her husband Donald Trump will accept his party's nomination. A source familiar with the convention's plans confirmed that Melania Trump will be present at the four-day event.
It remains uncertain whether Melania Trump will join the lineup of speakers at the convention or how she will formally participate in the event's programs. Known for her aversion towards the media, Melania Trump has been one of the more enigmatic figures in her husband's political circle.
Although Donald Trump had previously stated that his wife would be on the campaign trail with him "pretty soon," Melania Trump has only made two official public appearances for his campaign thus far. These include joining him during his re-election bid announcement in November 2022 and casting her vote for him in the Florida primaries earlier this year. She has also attended several private fundraising events, as well as a dinner for Hungarian leader Viktor Orbán at Mar-a-Lago in March.
However, Melania Trump has notably stayed away from attending her husband's rallies and public events. Moreover, she did not accompany him to court during his hush money trial, further emphasizing her preference for privacy.
Melania Trump's participation in this year's convention is expected to attract heightened attention. In 2016, her speech at the RNC came under scrutiny when parts of it were found to be plagiarized from Michelle Obama's 2008 Democratic National Convention speech. In 2020, Melania Trump also spoke at the convention, focusing predominantly on her experiences as First Lady.
As the Republican National Convention approaches, all eyes will be on Melania Trump to see how she will contribute to the event and what message she will deliver to the party faithful.
