The Trump family joined the GOP candidate onstage one day before the election with two notable absences: wife Melania and daughter Ivanka.
Donald Trump Jr., Eric Trump, Lara Trump, and Tiffany Trump all spoke at the former president’s rally in Reading, Pennsylvania on Tuesday.
Lara and Tiffany both attempted to appeal to women voters, as pollsters have suggested a massive gender gap and female support could drive Kamala Harris to victory.
However, Melania hasn’t been seen since Trump’s infamous Madison Square Garden rally last week and Ivanka has remained off the campaign trail from the beginning.
The businesswoman, 43, posted a long list of 16 life lessons on her Instagram page on Monday afternoon in honor of her birthday, which was on October 30.
While much of the Trump family remains out in full-throated support for Donald’s attempt to win Tuesday’s election, wife Melania and daughter Ivanka are absent

At no point in the post did she mention her father – whom she worked for in the White House as an advisor – or the upcoming election.
Ivanka, has not participated in her father’s campaign this year.
Her husband, Jared Kushner, recently said there was ‘zero chance’ she would be working to support her father in the lead up to the end of the campaign.
Her new Instagram posts also come just days after she took her eldest daughter, 13-year-old Arabella, to Taylor Swift’s Eras Tour concert in Miami, Florida.
The duo went after Trump lamented, ‘I HATE TAYLOR SWIFT!’ on his social media website Truth Social last month.
He made the declaration five days after Swift said in a lengthy Instagram post that she would be voting for Harris in November.
Melania has been seen infrequently on the campaign trail as well, aside from her speech in Manhattan in late October.
The former First Lady, 54, who has been largely absent from Trump’s campaign this election cycle, joined a cast of stars at Madison Square Garden ahead of the US Presidential election.

Ivanka Trump has not been seen much on her dad’s campaign trail this year, seen here with her husband, Jared Kushner, and stepmom Melania, at the 2024 Republican National Convention
In what was one of her first appearances on the campaign trail, she was introduced on stage by Tesla CEO Elon Musk and came out to a roaring standing ovation as she defiantly told the crowds ‘New York City and America needs their magic back’.
Melania, wearing a black-and-white animal print jacket, only spoke for five minutes, but her speech was focused more on a vision for the country and less about politics, while her husband said it would be an ‘honor’ to win New York and warned that voting for Kamala Harris is a ‘gamble’ that could ‘cost millions of lives’ and lead to ‘World War Three’.
It was a rare and stunning move from the former first lady, who has been clear about her disdain of politics. She went to the Republican National Convention but didn’t speak. She did not attend either presidential debate.
Their absences come as former President Trump’s daughter-in-law, Lara Trump, joined him for a swing state rally in Reading, Pennsylvania, on Monday afternoon.
Donald Trump’s sons, Eric and Don Jr., were also there.
Lara opened the rally alongside a group of women – including Dance Moms star Kira Girard – who said to the crowd that Trump is leading ‘the best comeback of all time,’ according to Fox 56.
‘Tomorrow is not the end,” Lara said during the rally, according to the outlet.
‘Tomorrow is just the beginning. It will be Donald J. Trump who restores the American dream for the United States of America.’

Daughter Tiffany made a post on social media explaining claims she felt should be debunked about her father.
‘A few points to reiterate as you head to the voting booth: 1. Project 2025 is NOT my father’s plan,’ she wrote.
‘He has not read it and does not endorse it. 2. My father will NOT sign a national abortion ban. 3. My father greatly supports IVF and wants to make it accessible to anyone who needs it. Get out and VOTE!’ she urged in her message.
