I had the great privilege of attending CPAC as a RedState contributor. It was my second go-round at the Conservative conference. The first time was in 2016 with my former channel Communities Digital News. I have to say, I was hesitant the first time because my impression of CPAC wasn’t favorable.

President Donald Trump is still the most popular candidate for the GOP’s 2024 presidential nomination, according to a CPAC straw poll, with 55 percent of respondents saying they would vote for him in a hypothetical primary.
CPAC veterans say Trump improves his shot at the 2024 GOP presidential nomination if he can help terminate the Democratic majorities via the 2022 midterms.
