As candidates strive to distinguish themselves from the rest of the field, this gathering offers them a platform to share their visions with voters. Hosted by radio host Erick Erickson, The Gathering will feature not only the candidates already\u2064 running but also a handful of other Republicans who will take the stage.<\/p>\n<h3>Notable Speakers<\/h3>\n<p>Among the distinguished speakers scheduled\u200c for this year&#8217;s event are Governor Brian Kemp (R-GA) and Governor Glenn\u200b Youngkin (R-VA). \u2062Both have garnered attention\u2064 as <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/pompeo-sparks-2024-buzz-with-upcoming-iowa-trip\/\" title=\"Pompeo Sparks 2024 Buzz With Upcoming Iowa Trip\">potential contenders<\/a> to \u200bchallenge former President Donald \u2062Trump for the GOP nomination.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>&#8220;Move Past Trump&#8217;s\u200d Loss and Focus \u2064on the Future,&#8221; Says Governor Kemp<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>On Friday, Governor Kemp addressed the conference,\u200d responding to recent\u200b news reports\u2062 about Trump&#8217;s \u2063indictment related to\u2063 his efforts to overturn the 2020 election results\u2063 in Georgia. He urged Republican \u200cvoters to look ahead and not dwell\u200d on Trump&#8217;s loss, cautioning that the party could risk losing the White House next year if it\u2064 remains \u2063&#8221;distracted&#8221; by the \u200bprevious election.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>Youngkin&#8217;s\u2063 Potential Presidential Run Gains Momentum<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>On Saturday\u200d evening, Governor Youngkin will take the stage as the final speaker of the annual gathering. Reports suggest that influential donors have privately encouraged him to consider a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/hunter-biden-email-reportedly-names-kamala-harris-others-as-key-contacts-for-joint-venture-with-china-energy-co\/\" title=\"Hunter Biden Email Reportedly Names Kamala Harris, Others as Key Contacts for 'Joint Venture' With China Energy Co.\">presidential run<\/a>, despite initially ruling it out earlier this year. Youngkin&#8217;s appearance follows a series of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/kemp-and-youngkin-appear-at-conservative-conference-as-donors-quietly-push-white-house-run\/\" title=\"Kemp and Youngkin attend conservative conference amid whispers of White House bid.\">crucial state\u2064 legislative races<\/a> in November, which may have influenced his reconsideration.<\/p>\n<h3>Support and Skepticism<\/h3>\n<p>Notable \u200bbillionaires, including Thomas Peterffy, who previously supported Governor Ron DeSantis (R-FL),\u200c have thrown their weight behind Youngkin&#8217;s Spirit of\u2063 Virginia PAC.\u2063 This support could pose a \u200dchallenge for DeSantis, who was \u200bonce seen as Trump&#8217;s top challenger but has faced setbacks in his own campaign.<\/p>\n<p>However, some donors remain skeptical about the viability of a late entry\u2063 into \u200dthe race, believing that\u2062 any candidate would struggle to\u200d gain enough momentum to surpass\u2063 Trump in the polls. For instance, if\u2063 Youngkin decides to wait until after the November election to join the race, he would be excluded from the Nevada primaries due to the filing deadline.<\/p>\n<h3>Overcoming Trump&#8217;s Dominance<\/h3>\n<p>Despite facing 91 felony charges from four separate criminal \u2062indictments, former President Trump continues to dominate early polling in the race. Over half of Republican voters (54.4%) express their support for Trump in the GOP primaries, with Governor\u200b DeSantis trailing far behind at 15.4%. Other contenders, such as Vivek Ramaswamy,\u200b former Vice President Mike Pence, and Nikki Haley, have garnered smaller percentages of support.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/\">Click here<\/a> to read more from The Washington Examiner.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A lineup of prominent conservatives will attend a GOP conference, offering insight into the Republican primary.
