'Full force': Ivanka and Melania Trump expected to end RNC absence

Melania and Ivanka Trump are expected to end their much talked-about absence at the Republican National Convention Thursday, arriving in "full force" to show unity with Donald Trump.

Trump's son Eric told "CBS Mornings" Thursday that, "They're coming in, in full force and effect, so they'll certainly be here."

Ivanka and Melania's absence so far at the convention, as well as during Trump's criminal trial in New York, have fueled speculation recently.

Some pundits theorized it was a strategic move to avoid overshadowing Trump's messaging, while others wondered if it signaled deeper familial divisions.

Trump is expected to accept the party's nomination as presidential candidate at his speech.

The former president's son Eric appeared to suggest in an interview with "CBS Mornings" on Thursday that both Melania and his sister Ivanka would be attending on the final day of the event.
