Melania Trump says "stay tuned" about return to campaigning as she votes in Palm Beach
PALM BEACH — Melania Trump joined her husband as they cast their votes in Florida's presidential primary on Tuesday afternoon.
"Stay tuned," the former first lady said smiling when asked about a return to presidential campaign politics.
The Trumps arrived at the Morton and Barbara Mandel Recreation Center to fill in their ballots just after 4 p.m. She then accompanied the former president as he briefly spoke to reporters.
The appearance at the polling precinct is a rarity.
Melania Trump has largely stayed out of the spotlight as her husband campaigns for the presidency for a third time. She did not attend his "Super Tuesday" election victory party on the night her husband swept more than a dozen primaries to get within range of clinching a third straight GOP presidential nomination.

Melania Trump has made some appearances at the couple's Mar-a-Lago private club in Palm Beach, however.
She attended a March 8 formal dinner party where the former president hosted autocrat and political ally Viktor Orba?n, Hungary's prime minister. And on Feb. 10, she accompanied Trump as he spoke at the Trumpettes fan club gala also at the Palm Beach estate.
