Megyn Kelly has defended Melania Trump amid criticism of her involvement—or lack thereof—in the current political landscape. Speaking on “On Balance with Leland Vittert,” Kelly addressed the media’s focus on Melania’s decision not to speak at the RNC and dismissed suggestions that it indicates a lack of commitment to her husband, former President Donald Trump.
Kelly described the media’s scrutiny as “absurd,” pointing out that if Melania truly wanted to distance herself, she had ample opportunity to do so, but chose to stay married. She characterized Melania as not being particularly interested in politics or public life, noting that her rare appearances, including her recent one at the RNC, are more about showing support for her husband rather than engaging deeply in political affairs.
In contrast to Jill Biden, who has actively participated in political events and used her role as First Lady to assert influence, Melania Trump has remained more reserved and detached from the political spotlight. Kelly emphasized that Melania’s low-profile approach should not be misinterpreted as disloyalty or lack of support for Donald Trump.
