Former President Donald Trump is expected to address the Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC) in Florida, next week. A reliable source confirmed this news on Saturday.
Donald Trump to address CPAC
The CPAC meeting will take place in Orlando, Florida from 25 to 28 February, with Trump speaking on February 28. This event would be Trump’s first public, on-camera appearance since he left office last month. Trump has been a CPAC regular appearing there in 2011 for the first time, years before he became a presidential candidate.
The spokesman for the American Conservative Union, Ian Walters confirmed that Trump will deliver a keynote speech at the group’s annual Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC) on Feb. 28.
“He’ll talk about the future of the Republican party and the conservative movement,” the source reportedly said. “Also look for the 45th president to take on President [Joe] Biden’s disastrous amnesty and border policies.”
Trump thinking about a 2024 comeback
Donald Trump will play a major part in the 2022 midterm elections and has privately told people recently that he is planning a 2024 comeback bid.
Trump has refused to admit losing the presidency to Biden who defeated him by 306-232 in the electoral college and 7m ballots in the popular vote. He also suffered a second impeachment for stirring up the deadly revolt at the US Capitol on January 6.
In recent weeks, Trump has expressed anger at top Republicans who opposed him, including Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell; Sen. John Thune, the No. 2 Republican in the Senate; and GOP political operative Karl Rove, according to people aware of the issue.The CPAC lineup includes many potential presidential candidates, such as Florida Governor Ron DeSantis, former Secretary of State Mike Pompeo, and South Dakota Governor Kristi Noem. However, former United Nations ambassador Nikki Haley and former Vice-President Mike Pence are not on the CPAC speaker list.
