Melania Trump will join her husband, former President Donald Trump, at the Al Smith dinner in New York City on Thursday. This marks her first public appearance with him during the 2024 campaign since the Republican National Convention in July. Her attendance is notable as she has largely stayed away from the campaign trail. The Al Smith dinner is a long-standing event that benefits Catholic charities and typically features both major party nominees. Melania is also promoting her new memoir, which discusses her views on abortion, differing from her husband's stance. She emphasizes the importance of individual freedom and autonomy in her book and recent interviews.
