Her appearance in Milwaukee will mark her first major political appearance with Trump since he announced his 2024 campaign almost two years ago. But it also comes at a personally dark moment, just days after her husband survived an attempted assassination at a rally in Pennsylvania.
Those close to Trump’s family say the shooting deeply rattled Melania Trump, a private person who is also experiencing personal life changes beyond the shooting and her husband’s campaign.
“I think she’s shaken,” said former Ambassador Ric Grenell at a Bloomberg event on Monday. Her 18-year-old son “Barron goes to school this summer, so it's a difficult time for parents to go from having your child around all the time to leaving the nest.”
