Melania Trump will make a rare campaign appearance at Donald Trump’s campaign event tonight in Milwaukee, Wisconsin.

The GOP presidential candidate is behind Ted Cruz in polls for Tuesday’s Wisconsin primary and hopes his wife will help make up ground. NBC News correspondent Peter Alexander said on MSNBC Monday morning that he “thinks” the last time Melania joined her husband on the campaign trail was back in South Carolina over one month ago.

A large amount of Wisconsin voters are reportedly intrigued by Trump’s celebrity element and Alexander said Melania will “only help.” This comes the day after Trump was in the news for numerous reasons related to woman, including Megyn Kelly, Ivana Trump and Heidi Cruz.

Ivana endorsed the anti-immigration policies of her ex-husband, in a revealing New York Post story. Fox News host Kelly told Charlie Rose that some of the collateral benefit of sparring with Trump has been a big boost to her professional exposure. Meanwhile, Trump said he regrets a retweet of a meme that included a photo of Cruz’s wife.

The GOP frontrunner also sidestepped a recent question about if he’s ever dated a woman who had an abortion.

It all started with an anti-Trump Facebook ad targeted at Mormons from the super PAC America Awesome, which featured a photo of Melania Trump posing naked for GQ.

Taking offense to the perceived slight, Trump threatened to "spill the beans" on Cruz's wife Heidi. "Be careful, Lyin' Ted," he warned on Twitter.

"Pic of your wife not from us. Donald, if you try to attack Heidi, you're more of a coward than I thought. #classless," responded Cruz.

On Wednesday, a story accusing Cruz of having affairs with five women appeared in The National Enquirer. Cruz denied the story, calling it "complete and utter lies" and "a smear that has come from Donald Trump and his henchmen."

While accusing Trump of planting the story, Cruz tried to talk around the word "ratfucking," derogatory slang for an especially dirty kind of political sabotage.

“He’s a man for whom a term was coined for copulating with a rodent,” Cruz said of a former Trump ally. “Well let me be clear, Mr. Trump may be a rat but I have no desire to copulate with him. And this garbage does not belong in politics.”

On Friday, Trump issued a statement on Facebook, denying the accusation that he planted the Enquirer story.

"While [The National Enquirer was] right about O.J. Simpson, John Edwards, and many others, I certainly hope they are not right about Lyin’ Ted Cruz," he wrote.
