Some GOP leaders welcomed his upcoming appearance while others were not as enthusiastic. When asked if President Trump should be speaking at this year\u2019s CPAC, House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) said he believed so. However, Rep. Liz Cheney (R-Wyo.) had different thoughts.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThat\u2019s up to CPAC,\u201d Cheney said. \u201cI\u2019ve been clear in my views about President Trump and the extent to which following January 6. I don\u2019t believe that he should be playing a role in the future of the party or the country.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Despite disdain from the political establishment, grassroots conservatives remain firmly behind the 45th President.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHe just spent 4 years enacting the most conservative policy we\u2019ve ever seen from any president, certainly any Republican president,\u201d American Conservative Union Chairman Matt Schlapp stated. \u201cAnd 73 million Americans voted for him. They thought the policies helped make America strong, we weren\u2019t apologizing overseas, the forgotten men and women had great economic prospects. He simply did what he said he was going to do. So why not have him speak? It seems to me that it makes perfect sense that he would come back and talk to his followers and talk about what is going to happen in the future.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Even one of President Trump\u2019s biggest critics in the party believes he is the front runner for the presidential nomination. In an interview Tuesday, Sen. Mitt Romney (R-Utah) said President Trump would win the 2024 GOP presidential nomination \u201cin a landslide\u201d if he ran. He referenced polling that indicated Trump\u2019s lead in the potential 2024 primary field. Romney added he would not vote for the 45th President if he were the party\u2019s nominee. However, he acknowledged Trump\u2019s influence over the party is still very strong.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHe has by far the largest voice and a big impact in my party,\u201d Romney noted. \u201cI don\u2019t know about his family members, whether they intend to do that. I don\u2019t know if he will run, but if he does I am pretty sure he would win the nomination.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>In the meantime, President Trump\u2019s speech at CPAC will reportedly be \u201ca show of force\u201d and affirm he is still in charge of the GOP.<\/p>\n<h4>MORE NEWS:\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.oann.com\/house-minority-leader-mccarthy-defends-free-speech-from-democrat-censorship\/\">House Minority Leader McCarthy Defends Free Speech From Democrat Censorship<\/a><\/h4>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p> &#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":2274153,"comment_status":"close","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mo_disable_npp":"","fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/dzm0ugdauank9.cloudfront.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/GettyImages-1230702122-655x437.jpg","fifu_image_alt":"Pence touts meeting with GOP lawmakers, future of the party","footnotes":""},"categories":[],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-168926","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/dzm0ugdauank9.cloudfront.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/GettyImages-1230702122-655x437.jpg","fifu_image_alt":"Pence touts meeting with GOP lawmakers, future of the party","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/168926","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=168926"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/168926\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2274153"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=168926"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=168926"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=168926"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
