According to campaign sources, the first lady is scheduled to speak at the Make America Great event on Tuesday afternoon in Atlanta, Pennsylvania.
Every modern woman holding this position before Melania Trump has proved to be an important and effective surrogate on behalf of her husband. The president is particularly vulnerable to the votes of suburban white women, a group with whom the first lady may appeal a bit.
According to many sources, Melania Trump has largely proven herself as a home advocate. Her last appearance at Trump’s campaign rally was in June 2019, where she made a brief comment on the kickoff for her husband’s re-election efforts. His last solo speech in support of Trump’s campaign took place in Pennsylvania a few days before the election, almost exactly four years ago.
According to two campaign sources, Melia Trump’s reluctance to participate in campaigns or fundraisers has often been a frustrating concept, as two women talk to voters, as historians have historically been the most lucrative and effective state of surrogacy.
“It’s definitely not a question of ‘does the Trump campaign want to introduce Melania Trump?’ A source familiar with the campaign said. “She wanted and needed. She does what she doesn’t do.”
Earlier this fall, when asked when the first lady would launch the campaign, campaign spokesman Hogan Gidley said: “The first lady is an incredible asset to the country, the president and the campaign. We are talking to the first lady team to decide. Can be involved. ”
This is the only incident since the first lady at Trump’s rally in Pennsylvania last week left a planned appearance citing her cowardly recovery.
The absence of the first lady has become a topic of discussion among some in campaign circles, however, the lack of participation is not a particular concern for the president himself, according to someone familiar with how he reacted.
“She knows enough to know that when she doesn’t want to do something, it’s not like she or anyone else will change her mind.” The source said.
In 2016, Melania Trump’s requests to participate in the trail were equally relevant. At the time, she said her priority was caring for her next 10-year-old son. Trump was apparently given a pass as to why he doesn’t fund prolific speeches or headlines.
The occasional wave at the Trump rally or the soon-to-be greetings were satisfying for the struggle to help voters understand exactly who their candidate is behind the scenes, who could give a partner during the election campaign.
“Someone who worked in a senior position on the Trump campaign in 2016 says, ‘The answer to her asking us to make representations was often’ no ‘, we finally stopped asking.” 2020 doesn’t look any different than that. A source familiar with the campaign strategy says, “Anyone could take it at any time. He’s a rock star.”
