The Conservative Political Action Conference kicks off in Orlando, Florida Thursday under the banner of 'Awake not Woke'- a theme that aims to serve as "the starting gun" for Republicans ahead of the 2022 midterm elections.
The premier annual conservative gathering, held in Orlando at The Rosen Shingle Creek from Thursday, Feb. 24 through Sunday, Feb. 27 - where potential top Republican contenders in the 2024 presidential election will take the stage - will feature speeches and presentations from former President Donald Trump, Republican lawmakers, former Trump administration officials, and more.
Other notable guests include Florida Governor Ron DeSantis, Texas Senator Ted Cruz, Florida Senator Marco Rubio, South Dakota Governor Kristi Noem, Former Secretary of Housing and Urban Development Dr. Ben Carson, Former Rep. Tulsi Gabbard, D-Hawaii, and more.
CPAC RECRUITS PAYMENT PROCESSOR THAT VOWS TO 'ELIMINATE RISK OF BEING DEPLATFORMED'
Fox Nation - the featuring sponsor of this year's event - isn't just streaming the four-day convention, but offering an exclusive three-day series, CPAC: All Access Live!, for subscribers.
The live show, co-hosted by Fox News' Pete Hegseth and Kayleigh McEnany, is slated to air Friday at 1:15pm, Saturday at noon, and Sunday at 11am. It will feature a number of big-name guests - such as Vivek Ramasamy, K.T. McFarland, Mollie Hemingway, Michael Loftus, Lee Greenwood, and Dr. Oz - and offer Fox Nation subscribers a front-row seat to the action in Orlando.
CPAC annually brings together more than 18,000 people from college-aged to retired, representing conservative organizations, educational institutions, elected officials, thought leaders, media personalities, and grassroots activists "who fight for conservatism in America and abroad," the CPAC website states.
And as is tradition, the conference is set to include a straw poll, which typically asks attendees to assess the president's performance, share their feelings on administration policies, and give predictions for the 2024 election.
