U.S. media: Pence refused to attend next week’s CPAC speech

On Feb. 21, U.S. media outlet Fox reported that former Vice President Mike Pence declined an invitation to speak at this year’s Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC).

A person with knowledge of the conference group told the outlet that Pence was invited to speak at the annual event, but he declined.

Former President Trump will attend the CPAC conference and will speak on the final day of the conference (Feb. 28). This is expected to be Trump’s first appearance at a political speaking event since leaving office.

Former Pence chief of staff Mark Short said on Feb. 19 that Trump and Pence are still talking at this Time. Prior to that, there were rumors that the two were at odds.

Trump is expected to talk about the future of the Republican Party and the conservative movement at CPAC. In addition, according to sources familiar with Trump’s speech, he will also talk about President Biden‘s “disastrous immigration Amnesty and border policy.

The former president has remained relatively quiet since leaving the White House on Jan. 20, but he said he wants to stay politically active and tell supporters that the MAGA movement is still alive and well after his Senate impeachment acquittal.

“Our historic Make America Great Again movement, our patriotic movement, is just beginning,” Trump said in a statement last week, adding, “I have much to share with you in the coming months, and I look forward to continuing our incredible journey together to achieve for all of us the rebuilding of America’s greatness. Never before!”
