Melania Trump breaks election silence by Tweeting support for her husband
Noticeable by her absence over the past few days, the First Lady Melania Trump has broken her election silence by backing Donald Trump’s claims of electoral fraud on Twitter on Sunday, November 8.
“The American people deserve fair elections. Every legal — not illegal — vote should be counted. We must protect our democracy with complete transparency,” the first lady tweeted on Sunday.

The tweet, which marks the first post from the first lady since Mr Biden was declared winner of the 2020 election by networks and news agencies, signals her support for the president in his legal fight that lies ahead.
Donald Trump continues to contest the Joe Biden victory, insisting that the race for president isn’t over and that he fully intends to launch a legal battle against what he consideres to be an ‘illegal’ campaign.
“The simple fact is this election is far from over. Joe Biden has not been certified as the winner of any states, let alone any of the highly contested states headed for mandatory recounts, or states where our campaign has valid and legitimate legal challenges that could determine the ultimate victor,” the statement read.
