Execute some of her what would be normal, what would be the perfunctory duties of any first lady . To be honest, i dont think not much because she has kept a very low profile anyway. She has been quiet, she hasnt released a statement or commented on the scandals, she just moves forward. As a result, we saw new poll numbers and she is up ten points to 15 favorable rating.

Kate bennett, thank you so much. We appreciate it. We know you had to use your indoor voice there as the music cut out. This first ladys announcement comes just as the new cnn polls that kate was talking about show her favorability up again ten points since january. Nearly six in ten americans have a favorable view of Melania Trump. Higher than for her husband ever. I want to talk more about this with dana bash and also joining us Ka
Like all of you, I have reflected on the past year and how the invisible enemy, Covid-19, swept across our beautiful country. All Nations have experienced the loss of loved ones, economic pain, and the negative impacts of isolation.
As your First Lady, it has been inspiring to witness firsthand what the people of our great Nation will do for one another, especially when we are at our most vulnerable.
With nearly every experience I have had, I found myself carrying many individual’s stories home with me in my heart.
Most recently, my heart goes out to: Air Force Veteran, Ashli Babbitt, Benjamin Philips, Kevin Greeson, Roseanne Boyland, and Capitol Police Officers, Brian Sicknick and Howard Liebengood. I pray for their families comfort and strength during this difficult time.
