Melania Trump is anticipated to join her husband Donald Trump at the Republican National Convention (RNC), arriving in "full force" on Thursday.
The former president's son Eric appeared to suggest in an interview with "CBS Mornings" on Thursday that both Melania and his sister Ivanka would be attending on the final day of the event.
When asked about their absence during the first three days of the convention, Eric said, "They're coming in, in full force and effect, so they'll certainly be here."

Melania has maintained a relatively low profile during the 2024 campaign compared to her husband's 2016 presidential run, when she gave a number of speeches throughout the year. Her presumed upcoming appearance at the RNC will be one of her rare public engagements this election cycle, although she is not expected to speak at the event.

Neither Melania nor Donald Trump's spokespeople immediately responded to Newsweek's requests for comment.
Melania's last public appearance was in June when she was spotted arriving at Trump Tower after her husband left for a rally in Milwaukee. She did not join her husband at the rally, and was instead seen in New York City according to photos published by Page Six.
She most recently spoke out after her husband was shot in the ear during a rally in Butler, Pennsylvania, on July 13. In a statement posted to social media, she said: "When I watched that violent bullet strike my husband, Donald, I realized my life, and Barron's life, were on the brink of devastating change."
Later in the press release, she added: "A monster who recognized my husband as an inhuman political machine attempted to ring out Donald's passion – his laughter, ingenuity, love of music and inspiration. The core facets of my husband's life – his human side – were buried below the political machine. Donald, the generous and caring man who I have been with through the best of times and the worst of times."
The RNC, taking place in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, has been in full swing since Monday, when Trump announced GOP Senator JD Vance of Ohio as his running mate.
In addition to a speech from Trump on Thursday and his acceptance of the GOP nomination, other speakers have included former FOX News host Tucker Carlson, wrestler Hulk Hogan, Eric Trump, and various high-profile Republicans, including Montana Senator and chairman of the National Republican Senatorial Committee Steve Daines.
Throughout Trump's time as president, Melania maintained a muted public profile, focusing on her Be Best campaign aimed at improving children's well-being, combating cyberbullying, and addressing opioid abuse.
