Melania Trump made a rare public appearance in Washington, D.C., after a four-week absence, attending a White House dinner and reception with the nation’s governors. The first lady, who has spent much of her time in Florida and New York since her husband returned to office, was praised by President Donald Trump for her role in organizing the event.

“Melania has done a beautiful job making everything look perfect tonight,” Trump said at the event, acknowledging her contributions.

Despite her early involvement in the administration, Melania has maintained a low profile, fueling speculation about her limited presence in Washington. Sources close to the family suggest she prefers to stay in New York, where their son, Barron Trump, is attending college.

Though she previously stated she would return to D.C. when needed, Melania has been notably absent from high-profile engagements, including meetings with world leaders and key legislative signings.
