With early voting already underway and eight days until the Nov. 3 election, first lady Melania Trump plans to make her first solo campaign stop Tuesday.
The first lady, who has not been on the trail with her husband since he announced his reelection bid in June 2019, will support the president's campaign effort with a stop in Atglen, Pennsylvania.
She'd planned to join the president at an Oct. 20 rally in Erie, Pennsylvania, but canceled that appearance on account of lingering effects of a COVID-19 infection that was announced at the start of the month. The first lady did attend the presidential debate later in the week, wearing a mask.
The first lady's long-awaited appearance will take place at an event moderated by Trump adviser Kellyanne Conway, who stepped down from her position as a White House counselor at the start of September.
Her 15-year-old daughter had claimed on social media that she was seeking emancipation from her parents on account of Conway's work with President Donald Trump.
Like the president and first lady, Conway announced on Oct. 2 that she'd tested positive for COVID-19. Both women attended events where masks were not worn and social distancing guidelines were not observed prior to their illnesses.
Conway expressed her support for the first lady last week.
"Four More Years of Melania, Too," she tweeted.
At the Republican National Convention in August, Melania Trump endorsed her husband during a speech from the White House, where she recalled becoming an American citizen in 2006.
"It is still one of the proudest moments in my life, because with hard work and determination I was able to achieve my own American dream," she recalled.
Pennsylvania, where Trump's Democratic rival Joe Biden was born, is considered pivotal to both candidates' election hopes.
