Melania Trump has baffled many by refusing to abide by tradition and attend Jill Biden’s invite to the White House.
Now, her office has issued a statement confirming the same and wishing her husband and President-elect, Donald Trump “the best” in his second term.
As is tradition, outgoing presidents host the incoming president-elect in the Oval Office while the first lady hosts the next for tea in residence.
Ahead of Trump’s inauguration in 2025, President Joe Biden and First Lady Jill Biden will host the Trumps at the White House Wednesday afternoon.
In 2016, following Trump’s victory against Hillary Clinton, former First Lady Michelle Obama hosted Melania for tea in the Yellow Room.

Trump lost the 2020 election against Democratic nominee Joe Biden.
The results were heavily contested, polarizing Democrats and Republicans, with many of the latter believing Trump’s false rhetoric about the election being stolen.
Trump refused to attend Biden’s inauguration and Melania followed suit by not having Jill Biden over for tea. They only met each other at Rosalynn Carter’s funeral last November had all living former First Ladies in attendance.
Melania reshared the statement her Office shared on X (formerly Twitter) Wednesday morning.
DON’T MISS:
“Mrs. Trump will not be attending today’s meeting at the White House. Her husband’s return to the Oval Office to commence the transition process is encouraging, and she wishes him great success,” the statement read.
The statement addressed “several unnamed sources in the media” that have allegedly spread “false, misleading, and inaccurate information.”
“Be discerning with your source of news,” it read.
The statement might be addressing the rumors that have swirled around Melania’s living situation, with many claiming that she might be the first presidential spouse to not reside at the White House full-time.
She currently resides in New York City with her son, Barron who is a student at New York University.
These rumors follow a family photo posted by Trump’s granddaughter, Kai, that featured the Trump family’s children and grandchildren as well as “uncle” Elon Musk and his four-year-old son.
Melania has also been notably quiet throughout the campaign season ahead of Trump’s decisive victory, also not speaking at the Republican National Convention this year.
