A recent gathering of conservatives at the Principles First Summit in Washington, D.C., highlighted concerns about the direction of the United States and the conservative movement. Attendees expressed a shared belief that the country is straying from its founding principles and discussed strategies to address this issue.
The summit, which attracted a diverse group of conservatives, including independents and center-left Democrats, aimed to foster a sense of unity in the face of perceived threats to democracy and authoritarianism. Despite the large turnout and spirited discussions, attendees left without a clear roadmap on how to challenge President Donald Trump's influence on the conservative movement.
