CNN reporters are scrutinizing First Lady Melania Trump despite her continuing battle with the coronavirus, according to the Western Journal.
NBC News’ Monica Alba quoted a spokeswoman for the first lady as saying, “Mrs. Trump continues to feel better every day following her recovery from COVID-19, but with a lingering cough, and out of an abundance of caution, she will not be traveling today.”

In an online piece called, “Inside Melania Trump’s unprecedented campaign trail absence,” CNN reporter Kate Bennett accused the first lady of being guilty of “a historic break from precedent.”
First lady Melania Trump — in a historic break from precedent — has yet to set foot on the campaign trail this year even as her husband, President Trump, fights for votes, especially among suburban White women with whom she could hold appeal https://t.co/8v3hlaSQsV

“The campaign has sought her presence,” Bennett wrote.
“But with the election less than two weeks away and no scheduled events, it’s unlikely the first lady will engage in any significant way.”

“This stands in stark contrasts to nearly all modern first ladies, many of who served a critical role in humanizing their husbands to women voters.”
From The Western Journal:
In the eyes of the activist media, the public presence of President Donald Trump’s wife apparently is more consequential than that of the Democrats’ candidate for president.
Melania Trump canceled plans to join her husband on the campaign trail in Pennsylvania on Tuesday night, NBC News’ Monica Alba reported on Twitter.
To be on the safe side, apparently, the first lady sat it out on Tuesday.
Biden, on the other hand, was sitting it out that same day but for reasons we can only speculate about.
The former vice president is facing valid concerns about his cognitive health and continues to dodge the few questions he is being asked about the bombshell email scandal embroiling nearly his entire family.

The alleged “Big Guy” with an alleged 10 percent stake in Hunter Biden’s reported Chinese investment firm will finally emerge Thursday night in Tennessee for a debate that’s tipped in his favor by the debate commission and its moderator, NBC News reporter Kristen Welker.
