Melania said President Trump told Fox News on Sunday that her views on abortion were no surprise to her husband.
“Yes, he knew my position and beliefs from the day we met. And I believe in individual freedom,” she told host Maria Bartiromo.
“I want to decide what I want to do with my body. I don’t think I want the government involved in my personal business,” she added.
A few hours later, her husband will hold a rally in Wisconsin. It comes just one day after he held an event filled with lies at a venue in Butler, Pennsylvania, where he survived an assassination attempt just three months earlier. Since July, rather than trying to lower the country’s political temperature, Donald Trump’s rhetoric seems to have become even more volatile. At Saturday’s rally, he suggested that his political opponents “maybe tried to kill me.”
Billionaire Elon Musk also joined on stage at the rally, making his first public appearance at a Trump campaign event since supporting the former president shortly after the shooting.
Meanwhile, Kamala Harris faced a media onslaught this week as she sat down for interviews with The View, late night host Stephen Colbert and radio host Howard Stern, with 30 days left until the election. I’m planning on embarking.

The event ended abruptly when a gunman fired an AR-15 at the stage, grazing the ear, killing one attendee and injuring two others.
Rather than giving the former president a new perspective on the domestic political situation, President Trump’s comments appear to have made him more unstable. During the rally, he suggested that his political opponents “maybe tried to kill me.”
