- Her absence marks a break from a longstanding tradition of first ladies attending such events
- Melania's office cited media misinformation as the reason for her decision
Melania Trump, former and potential future first lady, declined an invitation from Jill Biden, the current first lady, to attend a tea and tour at the White House on Wednesday.
This break from tradition also included her absence from the customary meeting between President Biden and President-elect Donald Trump, where traditionally, the first ladies participate.
In a statement released on X, Melania’s office explained that she would not be joining her husband for the visit, citing ongoing misinformation in the media as the reason for her decision.
Although the statement didn’t specify which reports were inaccurate, it conveyed support for Donald Trump’s return to the Oval Office, wishing him success as he begins the transition process.
