ORLANDO, Fla. — The Conservative Political Action Conference, considered the biggest annual gathering of American political conservatives, is set to host former President Donald Trump in Orlando for what would likely be his first live appearance since leaving office.
CPAC is still working on details, but spokesman Ian Walters said Saturday the conference is aiming toward a Sunday afternoon speaking time on Feb. 28 to close out the event that starts Thursday at the Hyatt Regency Orlando.
Last year’s CPAC conference in Maryland was the site of the first real coronavirus scare in the Washington, D.C., political world, with an infected attendee getting one handshake away from the president.
