Less than six weeks after leaving office, former US President Donald Trump will deliver the closing speech at a conservative conference as he reasserts himself on the national stage and makes clear he intends to remain a dominant force within the Republican Party.
Aides say Mr Trump will use the speech at the Conservative Political Action Conference in Florida to blast his successor, President Joe Biden, and try to cement his status as the party’s undisputed leader going forward despite his loss in November.
“I stand before you today to declare that the incredible journey we began together four years ago is far from over,” Mr Trump will say, according to excepts of his speech released by aides.
“We are gathered this afternoon to talk about the future — the future of our movement, the future of our party, and the future of our beloved country.”
