Former President Donald Trump will take center stage at the Conservative Political Action Conference on Saturday as the headliner at an event still dominated by the enduringly popular Republican politician more than a year and a half after he left the White House.

Trump, who since leaving office has launched the popular social network Truth Social while endorsing and stumping for Republican candidates across the country, has dropped stronger and stronger hints over the past year that he will seek a return to the White House.

The former president in his usual calculated style has not yet come right out to declare his intentions, though he has all but confirmed it one way or another. “I’ve already made that decision,” he said last month regarding 2024.

If he does choose to run, Trump will likely face at least some challenges from fellow Republicans, possibly and most notably from Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, who has demonstrated a strong showing in 2024 polls due to his enormous popularity heading up that state.
