February 28, 2021 Trump's first public intervention since leaving the White House is expected in Orlando, Florida: the conservative CPAC event will be an opportunity for the former US president to reaffirm his leadership in the Republican field.
The convention, Conservative Political Action Conference, will also be an opportunity for the Republican party to redesign its future plans in view of the upcoming midterm and presidential elections of 2024. While for some members of the Grand Old Party that of Trump is a figure cumbersome that risks dragging the party towards the most sinister conspiracy, for others it is the only leader capable of returning the conservatives to power.
The rift between the Republicans has become increasingly evident since the tycoon refused to admit defeat in the presidential elections.
But, even with some defections, the party held up when it came to acquitting him of the accusation of having instigated the crowd of his supporters to attack Congress.
