Melania Trump says she supports Donald Trump’s 2024 campaign

Former President Donald Trump has the support of his wife Melania in his reelection campaign, she says, after the former first lady has rarely been seen at her husband’s campaign events.

"He has my support, and we look forward to restoring hope for the future and leading America with love and strength," Melania Trump told Fox News in an interview published Tuesday.

Donald Trump announced his reelection campaign in November 2022 — the only time Melania Trump has appeared at one of his rallies. Since then, she hasn’t been spotted at any campaign events.

Melania Trump also did not accompany her husband to court in Manhattan last month for his alleged role in a scheme to pay hush money to a porn star during the 2016 presidential campaign, and was absent from his post-arraignment speech in Mar-a-Lago.

"My husband achieved tremendous success in his first administration, and he can lead us toward greatness and prosperity once again," Melania Trump told Fox News.

Donald Trump is currently the frontrunner to be the GOP presidential nominee. According to a recent ABC News/Washington Post poll, if President Joe Biden and Donald Trump were the candidates, 38 percent said they would definitely or probably vote for the president, compared to 44 percent who would definitely or probably back Donald Trump.

Melania Trump told Fox News that if her husband is elected in 2024, she, as first lady, would "prioritize the well-being and development of children as I have always done."

"My focus would continue to be creating a safe and nurturing space for children to learn, grow, and thrive," she said. "If additional problems arise, I will take the time to study them and understand their root causes."
