Former First Lady Melania Trump on Nov. 6 issued the first statement since her husband, President-elect Donald Trump, beat Vice President Kamala Harris.

“The majority of Americans have entrusted us with this important responsibility,” Melania Trump, who served as first lady from 2017 through 2021, wrote on social media. “We will safeguard the heart of our republic—freedom. I anticipate the citizens of our nation rejoining in commitment to each other and rising above ideology for the sake of individual liberty, economic prosperity, and security.
