On her inclusion in this effort, Trump said she was proud her husband signed the legislation to put the project in motion. During her time in the White House, she was able to participate in recognizing the 19th Amendment’s 100th anniversary, which she described as a profound moment.
The other first ladies named honorary chairs on the project include Trump, Current First Lady Jill Biden, Michelle Obama, Laura Bush, Rosalynn Carter, and Hillary Clinton. According to Fox 19, Trump stated she was “honored” to be a part of the foundation and helping to solidify the recognition of women’s role in building the country.
