Plans Being Finalized for Melania Trump to Make Rare Appearance at GOP Convention: Report
Former first lady Melania Trump will be joining her husband, former President Donald Trump, at the Republican National Convention next week, according to a new report.
It was unclear whether the former first lady would speak during the Milwaukee, Wisconsin, event, which runs from July 15 to July 18, according to CNN.
Melania Trump has made two public political appearances during the campaign — one when her husband kicked off his campaign in November 2022 and in March when she voted in Florida’s presidential primary.
Melania Trump has made appearance at private fundraisers.
Melania Trump spoke at the 2016 and 2020 GOP conventions, according to the New York Post.
Trump’s elder daughter Ivanka Trump will attend but has no official role.
Donald Trump Jr. will be speaking at the convention, according to USA Today, as will Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis.
Amber Rose, a reality TV star who was once dated Kanye West, will also speak.
Lara Trump, co-chair of the Republican National Committee and the wife of Eric Trump, said the lineup of speakers will have some surprises.
Do you plan to watch the Republican National Convention?
Yes: 82% (9 Votes)
No: 18% (2 Votes)
“I think you’ll be very excited and very surprised actually to see a lot of the people we’re going to have spoken at the convention this year,” she said Monday, according to WISN-TV.
“Look, this is a convention that really every single American should see themselves reflected in this convention. That is the goal, but I think you’ll also hear form unlikely people, celebrities who maybe you’ve never heard from who support Donald Trump and support conservative values and the Republican Party. They feel this is the time right now, it is important to come out and talk about that,” she said.
One convention speaker has already drawn controversy.
Teamsters International President Sean O’Brien is planning to speak but has been attacked by John Palmer, Teamsters vice president at large for making what Palmer called an “unconscionable” decision, according to The Guardian.
The Guardian said the speech would be the first by a Teamsters president at a GOP convention.
One Republican who will not be there is former South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley, according to NPR.
Haley was “not invited, and she’s fine with that. Trump deserves the convention he wants. She’s made it clear, she’s voting for him and wishes him the best,” Haley representative Chaney Denton said.
Haley, who received 97 delegates in the primary process, has released all her delegates, so they can vote for Donald Trump.
A Note from Our Deputy Managing Editor:
I heard a chilling comment the other day: “We don’t even know if an election will be held in 2024.”
That wasn’t said by a conspiracy theorist or a doomsday prophet. No, former U.S. national security advisor Lt. Gen. Michael Flynn said that to the founder of The Western Journal, Floyd Brown.
Gen. Flynn’s warning means that the 2024 election is the most important election for every single living American. If we lose this one to the wealthy elites who hate us, hate God, and hate what America stands for, we can only assume that 248 years of American history and the values we hold dear to our hearts may soon vanish.
The end game is here, and as Benjamin Franklin said, “We must all hang together, or assuredly we shall all hang separately.”
All of this means that without you, it’s over. We have the platform, the journalists, and the experience to fight back hard, but Big Tech is strangling us through advertising blacklists, shadow bans, and algorithms. Did you know that we’ve been blacklisted by 90% of advertisers? Without direct support from you, our readers, we can’t continue the fight.
Can we count on your support? It may not seem like much, but a Western Journal Membership can make all the difference in the world because when you support us directly, you cut Big Tech out of the picture. They lose control.
A monthly Western Journal Membership costs less than one coffee and breakfast sandwich each month, and it gets you access to ALL of our content — news, commentary, and premium articles. You’ll experience a radically reduced number of ads, and most importantly you will be vitally supporting the fight for America’s soul in 2024.
We are literally counting on you because without our members, The Western Journal would cease to exist. Will you join us in the fight?
Sincerely,
Josh Manning
Deputy Managing Editor
