The second full day of the 2017 Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC) is here, with the most important speaker of the event taking the stage at the Gaylord National Resort & Convention Center in National Harbor, Maryland. President Donald Trump spoke just after 10:00 a.m. ET, but there are other key Republican figures speaking during the rest of the day.
Other important speakers today include NRA chairman Wayne LaPierre and former Presidential candidate Carly Fiorina, whose speech is the last on the schedule. John Bolton, the former U.S. Ambassador to the U.N., is also scheduled to speak.
The first day was highlighted by appearances from senior White House staffers Kellyanne Conway, Steve Bannon and Reince Priebus. Texas Senator Ted Cruz and Wisconsin Governor Scott Walker also took the stage.
This is not Trump’s first time speaking at CPAC. He previously spoke at the 2011, 2013, 2014 and 2015 editions of the event, in his efforts to introduce himself as a serious candidate for the presidency to mainstream Republicans. These efforts worked, as he’s now the President.
