Former First Lady Melania Trump is all in behind her husband’s 2024 re-election campaign, Fox News Digital reports. In an interview with that outlet, she said that she is looking forward to working with her husband when he again becomes president toward “restoring hope for the future and leading America with love and strength.”
Continuing, she said that when she again has “the privilege” to serve as first lady after the 2024 campaign and election, she will continue to work with and on the behalf of children, ensuring that they have the “support and resources they need to reach their full potential.”
She then highlighted Trump’s record from his first term and argued that he could do so again, telling Fox News Digital, “My husband achieved tremendous success in his first administration, and he can lead us toward greatness and prosperity once again.”
Making her support for him clear, she added, “He has my support, and we look forward to restoring hope for the future and leading America with love and strength.”
Since leaving Washington D.C., Mrs. Trump has extended the program, and founded “Fostering the Future,” a “Be Best” initiative aimed at granting computer science scholarships to children aging out of the foster care system, and giving them the academic foundation needed to secure technology-based jobs so that they can become independent and contributing members of society.
“Since leaving Washington D.C., my commitment to the foster community has grown stronger,” Mrs. Trump told Fox News Digital, pointing to her work in securing scholarships for children in the foster care system with the help of her team, strategic partners and the public.
Discussing the foster care system and why drawing attention toward helping kids in it, she added,“At the present time, there are more than 400,000 children in the foster care system, and there is less than a 3% chance of former foster children completing their college education. In fact, many end up on the street, homeless. My objective is to reduce the gap and increase access to higher education for those who leave the foster care system.”
Continuing, she argued that progress can be made in that realm and that education can help the kids in the system, saying, “I have faith that an education-based foundation will provide these individuals with the skills needed to secure employment and achieve financial stability.”
She next added that when she reenters the White House as First Lady after 2024, she will”prioritize the well-being and development of children as [she has] always done” and that her “focus would continue to be creating a safe and nurturing space for children to learn, grow, and thrive.” Continuing, she told Fox News Digital that “If additional problems arise, I will take the time to study them and understand their root causes.“
