The 2021 Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC) will be held in Florida this year. A spokesperson for CPAC confirmed on Saturday that former President Trump will once again be a keynote speaker at the event.
A spokesperson for CPAC confirmed to the New York Post that the former president is expected to speak at the conservative conference on Sunday, Feb. 28. It is expected to be Trump's first public appearance since leaving office.
Trump has spoken at the annual conference numerous times in the past.
In 2011, Trump told the crowd of conservative activists what he would do if he ever ran for president and won the election.
"If I run and if I win, this country will be respected again," said Trump in 2011.
That year, the celebrity star of "The Apprentice" delivered a pro-business and anti-foreign aid message.
As president, Trump spoke before the conference every year of his four-year term. In 2019, President Trump delivered a two-hour speech at CPAC in what became the longest speech of his presidency.
While campaigning for the White House, Trump skipped CPAC in 2016, breaking a streak of annual appearances Trump made before the conference.
CPAC 2021 will be hosted at the Hyatt Regency in Orlando, Florida. CPAC was moved this year in order to avoid lockdown restrictions in Maryland, where the annual event is traditionally held.
The event will run from Thursday, Feb. 25 to Sunday, Feb. 28. Among the long list of prominent conservatives scheduled to speak at the event are Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, South Dakota Gov. Kristi Noem, and Texas Sen. Ted Cruz.
TRUMP RALLY! (Insurrection optional)
LOL
Seriously, I wonder if the neo-Marxists will send in their Antifa/BLM paramilitary terror groups to start another riot.
That depends on whether the fbi wants to manufacture a media narrative.
CPAC is COMPLETELY sold out.
I hope Stephen Miller is assisting on the prose.
This means Rush’s funeral will have to come early next week to avoid upstaging CPAC. No notice yet on when.
Great—I thought it would just be Don Jr and Lara.
Right. But it is still good to see a few of their speakers.
Might want to mark him as tentative.
I’m backing whatever candidate in 2024 Navarro and Stephen Miller are backing (though I hope that won’t be a Trump and I’d pass on Ivanka for any office).
I would pass on Ivanka also Jared and Ivanka were the two giving Trump VERY BAD advice they are both Libs!!! I would like to see DeSantis run HOWEVER I will NEVER vote GOP again NEVER what they did to Trump was unforgivable I AM DONE!!!
It would be good to see them try, and all get rounded up by DeSantis’ state troopers and sentenced to long prison terms.
I bet Nikki Haley is gritting her teeth.
Trump-Noem! 🦁
Yep. Jared appeared to be Trump’s Deep State handler, and even though Trump was presumably more fighting for us than completely controlled opposition, I don’t want to count on such an apparently compromised family again.
And yes, I know that view will upset many Freepers.
Minimum of 5 minute standing ovation. JMHO
Might be hard to get a ticket with all the undercover FIB agents hanging around.
We’ve all got to realize MAGA must transcend Trump. If Trump CONTINUES to take advice from Uniparty (R) Judases, as he has since day one, we need to move on. Why Trump hasn’t started a new party is beyond me. The Uniparty (R) cannot be rehabilitated.
