Melania Trump and Ivanka Trump are both expected to make an appearance at the Republican National Convention, as former President Trump’s son Eric says they will be “coming in full force.”
“They’re coming in,” Eric Trump told “CBS Mornings” on Wednesday.
Since the GOP convention began on Monday in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, neither Ivanka Trump nor Melania Trump have been spotted at the event.
However, Eric says that the seal will be broken, as both women who have seemed to avoid Trump’s campaign this time around are now expected to make an appearance.
“They’re coming in full force and effect, so they’ll certainly be here,” Eric Trump said before praising his sister as an “incredible supporter of my father,” despite her absence from his 2024 campaign.
In 2022, Ivanka Trump said that she no longer planned “to be involved in politics” and that she would instead prioritize her kids “and the private life we are creating as a family.”
Melania Trump appears to have made the same choice, with reports suggesting that she would rather stay out of the spotlight and instead be there for her and Trump’s son, Barron.
Following the assassination attempt on her husband, Melania Trump spoke out, calling for Americans to set aside their political differences.
“When I watched that violent bullet strike my husband, Donald, I realized my life, and Barron’s life, were on the brink of devastating change,” the former first lady said. “I am grateful to the brave secret service agents and law enforcement officials who risked their own lives to protect my husband.”
As things sit, Melania and Ivanka are not listed among speakers at the RNC.
As for Eric Trump, the president’s 40-year-old son continued to praise his family, saying he doesn’t think any in “political history” has “remained closer than our family.”
“They’ve done everything to try and destroy this family. They’ve done everything they could to try and break up this family, to separate this family, in so many ways with like the ruthless attacks,” he said.
“And we’re a family that’s cohesive. We are a family that absolutely supports him, that absolutely loves him to death, and I’m honored to stand on that stage.”
