'Where's Melania?' Melania Trump Maintains Low Profile During Donald Trump's New York Criminal Trial and 2024 Presidential Campaign

Melania Trump has stayed out of the public eye as Donald Trump runs for president in 2024, missing key campaign events and not accompanying him to important moments such as his criminal trial. When asked if she planned to campaign, Melania Trump responded, "Stay tuned," but she has largely refrained from public appearances since then. She was absent for Donald Trump's month-long criminal trial in New York or his remarks after the guilty verdict. Allies cited their son Barron's school schedule as a reason for her absence but did not deny it was a sensitive time. Reporters at the trial repeatedly asked Trump, "Where's Melania?" but he did not answer.
