The first campaign-related event Melania Trump attended in months was on March 19, 2024. She was by Donald Trump’s side as they walked to the polling station to vote in the Florida GOP primary, a place she used to tease about her plans for the remainder of the campaign trail. “Stay tuned,” she told reporters in a video shared by The Times on YouTube. Since then, Melania attended a fundraiser hosted by billionaire John Paulson (seen above). “Melania Trump emerged as the main star at the Republican fundraiser,” a source told Page Six.
And Melania seemed to be wearing her campaigner hat. “The former First Lady, who usually appears quite serious in photographs, seemed to never stop smiling Saturday night and was charming and talkative to all the guests,” the insider noted. Melania is also expected to hold a fundraiser for the Log Cabin Republicans at Mar-a-Lago on April 20, which will reportedly mark her first major campaign event this cycle.
The fundraiser is said to be an attempt to capture moderate voters. “The Trump campaign recognizes that Melania is their secret weapon,” a source told the New York Post. “Her appeal is critical to win battleground states and undecided voters.” It looks like Melania is back, but it also looks like she wants to do it on her terms. “She is very selective and methodical in what she wants to do and how she presents herself,” an insider previously told CNN.
