Summary
Melania Trump does not plan to attend the Republican Party’s midterm convention in Dallas next Wednesday and Thursday, a White House official confirmed Friday.
The two-day gathering is an unusual party event designed by President Donald Trump and Republicans to showcase what the White House calls the administration’s accomplishments over its first 19 months.
Her absence comes as Republicans use the convention to energize supporters ahead of the midterms while facing significant electoral headwinds.
