It's long been held in National Harbor outside of D.C.

I think over time we've seen more models like this pop up in the conservative movement.

Obviously, there's Turning Point USA.

as well.

Obviously, people of all ages attend.

There are a lot of older folks at this event.

But really, the focus of CPAC is to rally the base, get people involved, and get people excited.

Comic-Con, but for MAGA.

Yeah, that's a good way to put it.

MAGA prom.

Yeah, I mean, I think yes and no, right?

Because everybody is aware of what's going on in the news.

Saturday marks one month since the U.S.

struck Iran, and that's kind of hanging over this event.

So I think there are supporters who are cognizant of that.

At the same time, I think there is a bit of a tendency over the past few years to

expect to see Trump.
