Live Stream: Watch Donald Trump Address CPAC On Friday
The president is scheduled to speak Friday morning to the conference at the Gaylord hotel in National Harbor, Maryland.
NATIONAL HARBOR, MD — President Donald Trump is scheduled to speak at 10 a.m. on Friday at the Conservative Political Action Conference at the Gaylord hotel in National Harbor, and you can watch his speech live below when it happens.
It will be the first time that a sitting president has spoken at CPAC in the time it has been held at National Harbor. Trump spoke at CPAC in 2013, 2014 and 2015, but he pulled out of the 2016 conference in the midst of a contentious fight with other Republicans for the party's nomination.
"Heading into the conference, President Trump has already achieved many important accomplishments in his first month in office," the White House said in statement. "Whether it is jumpstarting job creation, restoring public safety, slashing harmful regulations, or keeping his promise to defend the Constitution, conservatives have much to be excited about heading into Friday’s message from the President."
