Melania Trump plans to host her second fundraiser with an LGBT group at Trump Tower

Former first lady Melania Trump is set to host another fundraiser with the Log Cabin Republicans, which will take place on July 8.

The fundraiser will be held at Trump Tower in New York and will have the ex-first lady headlining the event. The Log Cabin Republicans is a group of LGBT Republicans, with this fundraiser marking the latest move by former President Donald Trump’s campaign to win over voters from this voting bloc.

Melania Trump previously held a fundraising event with this group in April, which also marked her first fundraiser for her husband’s 2024 presidential campaign. She defended her reasoning for partaking in this event, stressing the need for unity ahead of the election.

“We must unite in our effort to establish a society where equality is the everyday experience of every American,” she said. “Individual freedom provides a unifying set of principles and ultimately establishes our American way.”

The former first lady has largely been silent on the 2024 campaign, which has been hit with several road bumps, including Donald Trump’s guilty verdict last month. When discussing his verdict in an interview, Donald Trump said he thought the situation was “tougher” for his family than for himself.

The event at Trump Tower will be held three days before the former president is scheduled to be sentenced for his hush money trial on July 11. If he is sentenced to prison, this would make him the first former president to ever receive this sentencing in the history of the United States.

Trump’s effort to win over LGBT voters comes as President Joe Biden’s campaign is seeking to do the same, launching the “Out for Biden-Harris” program to win support.
