Following the presidential elections in November, that Donald Trump won, President Biden’s wife, Jill Biden, extended an invitation to Melania Trump for a customary White House tradition, but allegedly, the invite was declined.

Speaking to the Washington Post, Jill Biden revealed that Melania “broke” the long-standing tradition of the incoming and outgoing First Ladies having tea during the presidential transition.

Jill then followed up with Melania Trump by sending a note through her husband when the two met at the reopening of the Notre Dame in December last year.

“I congratulated her and I offered help,” Biden said in an interview with the Washington Post. “What would be the point of nastiness?”

The two First Ladies eventually met at former President Jimmy Carter’s state funeral on 9 January, with Jill confirming Melania thanked her “during pleasantries.”

In December 2024, Melania Trump appeared on “Fox & Friends” and said that this time, the transition to the White House would be smoother.

“The first time was challenging, we didn’t have much of the information,” she said. “The information was withheld from us by the previous administration,” Melania continued. “But this time I have everything… it’s a very different transition this time, second time around.”

Host Brian Kilmeade asked Melania if she’d considered posing for magazine covers once she becomes First Lady again. “You’re in the White House, and you’re not on the cover of any of these magazines. Do you think that will change? And would you say yes to them — the Vogues, the Peoples, whatever?”

Melania, who used to be a model, answered, “Look, I’ve been there on the covers — on the cover of Vogue, on the covers of many magazines before. We have so many other important things to do than to be on the cover of any magazine.”

She added, “I think that life would not change for anybody if I’m on the cover.”

Some viewed this as a subtle remark aimed at Jill Biden, who was featured on the cover of Vogue Magazine in August.

President Biden and Jill Biden will attend Donald Trumps inauguration on January 20.
