Where is Melania Trump? Expected appearance tonight in family box at RNC

MILWAUKEE - The last night of the Republican convention is expected to include a rare sighting: Former first lady Melania Trump .

Melania Trump, who has been mostly absent from the 2024 campaign trail, is scheduled to attend the convention and sit in the family box as the former president delivers his acceptance speech.

Also expected to be in attendance: Daughter Ivanka Trump , who has also stayed away from the campaign, but recently posted a tribute to her father.

"They're coming in," Eric Trump, Ivanka's brother and Melania's step-son, said on CBS on Wednesday. "They're coming in in full force and effect.... There's no family I don't think in political history that's remained closer than our family."

Melania Trump has rarely be seen in public during her husband's 2024 campaign; she did issue a lengthy written statement after Saturday's assassination attempt.

“A monster who recognized my husband as an inhuman political machine attempted to ring out Donald's passion - his laughter, ingenuity, love of music, and inspiration,” she wrote.

Melania Trump has appeared at private events this campaign year, including closed fundraisers ; the Trumps were also spotted at a polling place on the day of Florida primary in March.

"Stay tuned," Melania Trump said when asked about a return to the campaign trail.
