Collins: The Fact that Melania Trump Will Not Be Attending the Debate Is Pretty Striking

EXCERPT:

COLLINS: “But also, you know, a lot of this is the visuals and what that looks like. And one thing that was in the report before Laura was speaking with those voters, from Kristen Holmes, that we all noticed as soon as Donald Trump got off of his plane earlier was that he was alone. He had staff with him, but he was not accompanied by the former First Lady Melania Trump. That’s pretty striking. The fact that she is not present at this debate tonight, based on what we’ve known so far and we’ve been texting officials about this, that she’s not here. She was at all of the debates before. And yes, there is no audience here, but there is still a lot of Trump allies and surrogates who will be in the room right off of the stage where each candidate has their respective rooms.”
