  On January 20, 2025, during the 60th United States presidential inauguration, Melania became the second first lady to hold the position two times non-consecutively, after Frances Cleveland. During the first few days of her second tenure as first lady, Melania traveled with President Trump to parts of North Carolina that were hit by Hurricane Helene in September 2024 and to Southern California to monitor the progress of fire rescue services for the January 2025 Southern California wildfires. In February 2025, Melania announced that public tours of the White House would resume on the 25th day of the month. On March 3, 2025, Melania made her first solo appearance as first lady for the term by attending a roundtable discussion at Capitol Hill on the Take It Down Act, a bill that could speed the removal of intimate imagery posted online without an individual's consent, or revenge porn. Soon after, the Take it Down Act was passed unanimously in the United States Senate and almost unanimously in the United States House of Representatives. Melania was at the President's side when it was signed into law two months later; she was invited by her husband to sign the bill as well and did, a first in U.S. history. In April 2025, Melania honored recipients at the annual International Women of Courage Awards and reopened tours of the White House gardens in early bloom. On April 21, 2025, Melania hosted the White House Easter Egg Roll with her husband, which drew crowds of around 40,000. Later that week, she attended the funeral for Pope Francis. In May 2025, Melania hosted a celebration honoring military mothers and an event where a postage stamp dedicated to former first lady Barbara Bush was unveiled. Later that month, she welcomed the children of White House employees for "White House Take Our Daughters and Sons to Work Day" where she assisted kids in decorating American flags. In June 2025, Melania attended the 2025 Congressional Picnic and the U.S. Army 250th Anniversary Parade.
