Melania Trump would not stay at White House full time in second term: Report – Washington Examiner
Melania Trump may return to the White House if Donald Trump wins the upcoming November election, but it is reported that she may not reside there full time. According to a report from Axios, Melania is expected to split her time mainly between Palm Beach, Florida, and New York, where she and her husband have lived at Mar-a-Lago since January 2021. While she would participate in ceremonial events at the White House, she plans to only visit rather than live there consistently. During Donald Trump’s first term, Melania did not move to the White House immediately, remaining in New York until June 2017 to avoid disrupting their son Barron’s school year. While living at the White House, she was involved in various renovations and restorations of the historic property.
