Melania Trump was present to vote without a mask – US elections 2020

U.S. First Lady Melania Trump voted at a polling center in Palm Beach, Florida, near President Donald Trump’s Mar-a-Lago resort town, and did so without a mask.

When asked why she hadn’t voted with the Republican president last week, Melania told reporters: “It’s election day, so I wanted to come here to vote for the election today. “

The first lady greeted and smiled at the journalists. She was the only person not wearing a chin strap when she entered Morton and Barbara Mandel Recreation Center to vote, presumably as a gesture to her husband, who criticizes the US blockade by the pandemic.

Melania Trump spokeswoman Stephanie Grisham said the first lady was the only person present at the polling station except for a few polling officers and her own staff, who were tested.

However, Grisham ensured that no one was close to the first lady “because of the social estrangement and privacy” people get when they vote.

Melania Trump, who contracted Covid-19 last month, smiled and greeted reporters, saying she was feeling “good”.
