Former first lady Melania Trump is set to make a rare public appearance at the upcoming Republican National Convention in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, alongside her husband, according to sources familiar with the plans. While it is still being discussed whether she will speak on stage or have a formal role in the program, her presence at such a high-profile event marks a significant return to the political spotlight.
Melania Trump has maintained a low profile during her husband's campaign, attending only two public events since Donald Trump announced his presidential bid. Her upcoming appearance at the convention comes amidst speculation about her future public schedule as the 2024 elections approach.
Despite not attending some key events earlier this year, such as Trump's court appearances and the June presidential debate, Melania Trump's spokesperson has not provided any comments on her upcoming participation in the convention.
Close advisers and allies of the former first lady emphasize her support for her husband's political endeavors and highlight her focus on raising their son, Barron. They note that Melania Trump is selective in choosing her political engagements, as evidenced by her recent appearances at private events, including a fundraiser for the Log Cabin Republicans and a fundraiser with her husband in April.
As Melania Trump prepares to step back into the public eye at the Republican National Convention, her presence is expected to draw significant attention and speculation about her future role in the political landscape.
