Why You Don't See Donald Trump's Wife Melania Out on the Campaign Trail - abcnews

Since Donald Trump announced in June he was making a run for the White House, his wife Melania Trump has been conspicuously absent from the campaign trail.

Sitting beside her husband, Melania Trump told Barbara Walters in an interview for ABC News' “20/20” that the reason she has stayed behind is to be with their 9-year-old son Barron at home in New York City.

“It’s my choice not to be there [on the campaign trail],” Melania, 45, told Walters. “I support my husband 100 percent, but ... we have a 9-year-old son together, Barron, and I’m raising him.”
