Melania Trump didn’t join her husband, President-elect Donald Trump, at the White House on Wednesday for his meeting with President Joe Biden and rejected an invitation from first lady Jill Biden. In fact, it seems she won’t be returning to the White House anytime soon—if at all.
“Mrs. Trump will not be attending today’s meeting at the White House,” said a post on X from the Office of Melania Trump. “Her husband’s return to the Oval Office to commence the transition process is encouraging, and she wishes him great success.”
CNN is reporting that after her husband is inaugurated in January, she’s likely to split her time between New York City and Palm Beach, Florida, instead of moving back to 1600 Pennsylvania Ave. in Washington, D.C.
“This time is different,” a source told CNN, suggesting that Melania’s priorities—and possibly her ties to Washington—have changed.
