Melania Trump skipped the White House‘s election night event on Tuesday as Republicans watched their grip on Congress slip, busying herself instead with her own Russia-Ukraine peace mission.
A White House source confirmed to the Daily Mail that the First Lady stayed away as President Donald Trump and his aides gathered in the East Room to watch the results, where the mood turned defiant as Republican majorities faded.
Melania ignored election updates, only posting details on her social media about a planned event at the White House to highlight the ceasefire in the Russian-controlled Ukrainian city of Oleshky and surrounding areas.
