Melania Trump set to host second fundraiser for LGBTQ Log Cabin Republican group at Trump Tower
NEW YORK CITY, NEW YORK: Melania Trump is set to host a fundraiser in July for Log Cabin Republicans, a group representing LGBTQ conservatives.
This marks the former first lady this year supporting the organization with a gala which will be held at Trump Tower on July 8, according to The Hill.
Log Cabin Republicans' fundraising goals
The proceeds from the fundraiser will be directed towards the organization's initiatives to support the presidential ticket and the other Republicans in the upcoming election in November.
The July fundraiser was initially scheduled to be hosted by Donald Trump, according to Politico.
This effort underscores the group's ongoing commitment to bolstering conservative candidates across various races.
Melania Trump's previous engagements
The upcoming event follows another fundraiser Melania hosted for the Log Cabin Republicans at Mar-a-Lago in April.
Additionally, she made a rare public appearance with Trump in March when they cast ballots in the Florida primary.
During this public appearance, Melania was asked whether she would continue to support her husband on the campaign trail and she responded "Stay tuned."
In 2022, she appeared at Trump's presidential campaign launch. However, since the launch of his campaign, she has largely remained absent from his recent rallies.
Melania Trump's absence during Donald Trump's legal troubles
Melania was notably absent from Trump's criminal hush money trial in New York City.
In the trial, the former president was found guilty of all 34 counts of falsifying business records to conceal hush money payments to adult film actress Stormy Daniels during the 2016 campaign.
Following his conviction, Trump said during a Fox News interview that his wife is "fine, but I think it’s very hard for her."
