She urged the Senate to approve the Fostering the Future Act as well.
First Lady Melania Trump addressed the 2026 Congressional Picnic, expressing appreciation for the members of the House of Representatives unanimously passing the Fostering the Future Act. The act was the result of Mrs. Trump’s advocacy for children through her Be Best initiiative.
The first lady urged, “Senators, we have momentum. Now it’s your turn to bring the Fostering the Future Act across the finish line. Let’s support our next generation and swiftly get this to the President for his signature.“
Mrs. Trump continued, “The White House Congressional Picnic has been a cherished American tradition for a great part of our nation’s two-hundred-and-fifty-year history. Beyond politics, it provides an important social ritual where our nation’s leaders share a moment of light-heartedness as we transition into the warm summer months.“
“This great American social tradition reminds us that some fun and laughter with our families can bring unity, especially when our children and loved ones are by our side,“ the first lady added. “Young Americans deserve every opportunity to learn, grow, and succeed, and I believe we will continue making meaningful progress on their behalf.“
As the Lord Leads, Pray with Us…
- For Mrs. Trump as she continues to advocate for children’s welfare.
- For President Trump to be discerning in his decisions surrounding parents, families, and children.
- For the Lord to be with children in foster care in this nation and for foster parents to be loving caregivers.
