Describing President Donald Trump as someone who is not a traditional politician, First Lady Melania Trump has made a passionate plea to her countrymen to re-elect her husband who will not stop fighting for them as "America is in his heart". 

Melania, 50, in her historic address to the Republican National Convention from the Rose Garden of the White House on Tuesday said, "I am here because we need my husband to be our President and Commander-in-Chief for four more years. He is what is best for our country." Melania opted Rose Garden as the place of her address to the Republican National Convention as the organisers had to drastically scale down the convention at its original venue of Charlotte in North Carolina due to the raging coronavirus pandemic. This is for the first time in recent memory that a First Lady has addressed the convention from Rose Garden of the White House. 

Calling her husband an "authentic person" in reference to Trump's directness and unfiltered commentary, the First Lady concluded her keynote address by saying: "I believe that we need my husband's leadership now more than ever.
"As you have learned over the past five years, he is not a traditional politician. ..He doesn't just speak words. He demands action and he gets results."
