The former first lady isn’t always used to the spotlight. But that’s about to change.
And Melania Trump gets earth-shattering news that’s left her in stunned-silence.
In a thrilling nod to true American spirit, First Lady Melania Trump is gearing up to step into the spotlight at the Fox Nation Patriot Awards, where she’ll be crowned Patriot of the Year. This isn’t just another glitzy event—it’s a powerful tribute to those who fight tooth and nail for the principles that built this nation.
The awards kick off live on the Fox Nation app at 8 p.m. this Thursday, November 6, with none other than Fox News powerhouse Sean Hannity at the helm as host.
Every year, the Patriot Awards spotlight ordinary folks who’ve gone above and beyond, showing ironclad loyalty to the freedoms and traditions that define America. It’s a refreshing break from the usual celebrity nonsense, honoring the backbone of this country instead.
Melania Trump has been a force on the political front over the past year, diving headfirst into issues that matter to everyday families.
Back in March, she joined a key roundtable on Capitol Hill to push the Take It Down Act, aimed at cracking down on the vicious spread of non-consensual images online that are intimate in nature. This common-sense measure drew support from both sides of the aisle and got the green light when it was signed into law on May 20.
Then in April, Melania took the stage at the International Women of Courage awards ceremony, shining a light on incredible women from across the globe. She gave props to Israeli lawyer Amit Soussana, who endured 55 grueling days in Hamas captivity following the brutal October 7 attacks.
This honor for Melania follows in the footsteps of her husband, President Donald Trump, who snagged the same award last year. That moment came right after a whirlwind year where he dodged an assassination attempt and brushed off bogus criminal convictions to claim victory in the election.
During his acceptance speech, Trump fired up the crowd with his trademark determination. “We’re going to do something that I’ve been talking about for eight years,” he said.
“We’re going to do it again. We have to do it again. We’re going to be very proud of our country again.”
This year’s Patriot Awards promise an even bigger punch, with a lineup that’s pure Americana. Country music icon Jason Aldean is set to belt out his hits “Try That in a Small Town” and “How Far Does a Goodbye Go,” songs that capture the grit and heart of small-town life.
Aldean won’t be alone on stage—he’s teaming up with his wife Brittany to hand out the first-ever Charlie Kirk Legacy Award.
This touching honor goes to Turning Point USA CEO Erika Kirk, coming just under two months after the tragic shooting that claimed her husband’s life during a speaking gig at Utah Valley University.
The event is stacked with other awards that celebrate unsung champions across the board. Fox News stars will be on hand to present these well-deserved recognitions, starting with the Young Patriot Award for the next generation of fighters.
Then there’s the Benjamin Hall “Honor” Award, named after the brave journalist who knows firsthand the cost of standing up for truth in dangerous spots around the world.
The Tunnel to Towers’ Stephen Siller Courage Award pays homage to first responders and those who’ve shown unbreakable bravery in the face of adversity, much like the 9/11 hero it’s named for.
Military folks get their due with the Salute to Service Award, a reminder of the sacrifices made by our troops to keep America safe and strong against threats at home and abroad.
Wrapping up the night are the Most Valuable Patriot Award, the Heroism Award, and of course, the Patriot of the Year Award going to Melania—each one a testament to the everyday warriors who make this country worth fighting for.
