Melania Trump Declined to Speak at Convention

“When former first lady Melania Trump enters the Republican convention Thursday night, she won’t be doing so on stage as she did in 2016 and 2020,” CNN reports.

“Though several people appealed to her to give a speech multiple times lately, she declined to do so.”

“That breaks with a modern tradition at political conventions where the candidate’s spouse can showcase their softer side, typically in remarks devoid of politics but instead with a focus on the personal.”
