Will Melania Trump leave NY and move to back into White House after husband's win?

It is questionable whether Melania Trump is planning to head back to the White House full time now that her husband won a second term as President of the United States.

Citing an unnamed source, on Wednesday reported Melania is "unlikely" to make a permanent move to Washington, D.C., however, she will fulfil many of her obligations as First Lady.

"Discussions about how and where she'll spend her time are ongoing," the media outlet reported.

Plus, the couple's 18-year-old son, Barron, is a student at NYU, with speculation that Melania wants to stay close to him.

Melania decided not to go to D.C. for a meeting Wednesday despite receiving an invitation from President Joe Biden and First Lady Jill Biden.

While rumors swirled about Melania's reason for not attending, as well as speculation about how dedicated she will be in her second stint as First Lady, her team was quick to respond.

"Mrs. Trump will not be attending today's meeting at the White House. Her husband's return to the Oval Office to commence the transition process is encouraging, and she wishes him great success," according to a statement the Office of Melania Trump posted on X. "In this instance, several unnamed sources in the media continue to provide false, misleading, and inaccurate information. Be discerning with your source of news."

Her husband, meanwhile, met with Biden in the Oval Office on Wednesday, making the first time since 1992 that an outgoing president sat down with an incoming one he competed against in a campaign. Back then, Republican President George H.W. Bush met with Democrat and President-elect Bill Clinton about two weeks after they squared off on Election Day.

Bush and Clinton talked policy before going together to the Roosevelt Room to meet with their transition staff. Clinton later called the meeting "terrific" and said Bush was "very helpful."

Over the decades, such handoff meetings between outgoing presidents and their replacements have been by turns friendly, tense and somewhere in between.

Biden has vowed to ensure a smooth transition and emphasized the importance of working with Trump, who is both his presidential predecessor and successor, to bring the country together.
