Melania Trump celebrates the influence of women at awards ceremony


Melania Trump is applauding the record number of female lawmakers in Washington.

“We now have more women in Congress than [at] any other time in our nation’s history,” Trump said during remarks Thursday at the International Women of Courage ceremony at the State Department.

There are 127 women in the 116th Congress — a historic number. But the women serving in the House and Senate are overwhelmingly Democratic — just 21 women lawmakers are Republicans.

“Throughout history women have contributed in so many ways to our society,” Trump told the crowd during the ceremony, held a day before International Women’s Day.

Maybe as the red carpet.
