The 2019 Conservative Political Action Conference is officially underway at National Harbor, Md.
Going on from Feb. 27 to March 2, CPAC is one of the largest gatherings of conservatives in the country held every year and features speakers from all over the Right side of American politics, from pundits, to members of Congress, and even President Trump himself.
Trump, who is scheduled to speak at 11:30 a.m. on Saturday, is a regular attendee of the event since 2011, when he began public mulling the possibility of running for president. Since then, Trump has only missed a single year, 2016, when he chose to campaign in key states ahead of the 2016 election. As president, Trump spoke in 2017 and 2018 at CPAC. Vice President Mike Pence is set to speak on Friday.
Other speakers this year include: Reps. Jim Jordan, R-Ohio, Mark Meadows, R-N.C., and Sens. James Lankford, R-Okla., Marsha Blackburn, R-Tenn. Republican National Committee Chairwoman Ronna McDaniel, Turning Point USA founder Charlie Kirk, and former Trump aide Sebastian Gorka are also set to have speaking appearances.
