Melania sets out new approach to potential return as first lady (2024)

As Donald Trump took to the stage in Milwaukee on Monday evening just 48 hours after an attempt on his life, the words “fight, fight, fight” echoed around the arena.

Joining in the chanting were his family – sons Don Jr and Eric, youngest daughter Tiffany and Eric’s wife Lara — showing their support for the patriarch of their family, who took a bullet to the ear just days earlier.

But notably absent from the chanting and cheering was Melania Trump – former first lady and Trump’s third wife, who is believed to be at home at the couple’s Trump Tower penthouse in New York City, hundreds of miles away from her husband in Milwaukee.
