With just a few days left until election day on November 3, first lady Melania Trump has joined in her husband’s campaign trail in a final push to gain voters. During the Trump campaign rally in Wisconsin over the weekend, Melania praised her husband’s response to the pandemic.
The first lady joined her husband on the campaign event in Wisconsin on Saturday where she praised him for his efforts in handling the pandemic. Melania contracted coronavirus several weeks ago, days after the second and final presidential debate along with her husband. She has since recovered and joined him on the campaign trail.
“We have made great progress in our fight against COVID-19,” said the first lady. “I watched Donald continue to work hard to keep people informed and calm, to protect our economy, and make hard and unpopular decisions to do all he could to keep us safe.”
Melania then added the COVID-19 protocols that are now in place to help businesses and schools reopen in the midst of the pandemic. The first lady also noted that this is now about the mental health and physical well-being of the American public.
In her opening remarks back in Milwaukee, Melania previously said that the pandemic was not a partisan issue and proceeded to blast those who said that they do not trust a vaccine that will be produced under the Trump administration. Melania also blasted the media and the Democrats, including candidate Joe Biden for fear-mongering at the time. The first lady is expected to join her husband again for a rally today in Pennsylvania.
Meanwhile, the first lady is also focused on her Be Best initiative along with commemorating October as National Substance Abuse Prevention Month. Melania’s initiative has partnered with the Office of National Drug Control Policy to raise awareness about the consequences of substance or drug abuse as well as the prevention of substance abuse among the youth.
“We stand firm in our belief that the most effective ways to protect our children and communities from drugs are focusing on primary prevention,” said the statement from the White House. “Preventing drug use before it begins -- educating individuals about their risks, and stopping drugs from entering our communities.”
