Melania Trump news: Does Donald wife campaign for her husband during midterm elections
Melania Trump’s spokeswoman told American new site CNN that the former-model did not campaign during the midterms.
Her motherly duties made it difficult to campaign, as well as the time of year, the White House representative claimed.
Stephanie Grisham said: “Due to her schedule as a mother and as first lady, especially with the upcoming holidays and international travel, there are no plans for her to campaign.”
However, the First Lady is generally seen to represent the President in all her appearances.

The First Lady’s role is an official role, while not being a paid job.
Melania juggles most of her time between caring for her son and make official appearances.

The campaign focuses on children and all the major issues facing them in 2018.
