Trump Wins CPAC's 2024 Presidential Straw Poll

Some 59% of attendees at the CPAC conservative conference in Florida want former Republican President Donald Trump to be the party's 2024 presidential candidate, according to a straw poll released Sunday.

Underscoring the unparalleled sway Trump enjoys over the Republican base, his closest rival, Florida Governor Ron DeSantis, garnered 28% of votes at the Conservative Political Action Conference gathering in Orlando.

CPAC tends to draw from the more conservative wing of the Republican Party, and its polls are not necessarily a reliable predictor of the eventual nominee. Senator Ted Cruz of Texas, for instance, beat out rivals in its 2016 straw poll but Trump ended up clinching the nomination.

Last year in Orlando, Trump reportedly garnered 55% of votes, more than twice as many as DeSantis, who was also a featured speaker. Trump then reportedly received 70% of votes at CPAC's summer gathering in Dallas last July.

Trump has yet to say whether he will run in 2024, although he has heavily hinted that he will and is already an important political force ahead of November's congressional elections.

In a straw poll question that omitted Trump, DeSantis garnered 61% of votes.

Many CPAC attendees said DeSantis, a 43-year old former lawyer with three young children and a wife who has been battling breast cancer, could easily wait and run for president in 2028.

"DeSantis, we'd like to keep him as governor here. I want Trump to run and win," said CPAC attendee Tom Freeman, 66, who works at a retail company in Florida.

Congress Ditches Mask Mandate Ahead Of Biden’s Address, GOP Denounce Requirement As Political Theater

UPDATED 8:29 AM PT – Monday, February 28, 2022

The Democrat-controlled House of Representatives lifted its mask mandate ahead of Joe Biden’s State of the Union address. The Office of the Attending Physician said lawmakers and their staff will no longer have to wear face masks due to a “low level” of COVID transmission. However, those who test positive for COVID or have symptoms are still advised to wear masks.

And just like that: Nancy Pelosi cancels her pointless mask mandate in Congress so Biden can do the same in his speech on Tuesday.

Nobody is buying this.

Republicans have denounced mask mandates as “political theatre,” adding Democrats are ditching masks to make Biden’s address look good. This comes as the Capitol Physician’s Office also promoted coronavirus vaccines, boosters and taking daily COVID tests at home.

So, Pelosi lifted the mask mandate in Congress one day before the President’s SOTU. Ain’t (political) science wonderful?

Meanwhile, Capitol Police reinstalled the inner-perimeter fencing around the Capitol Building ahead of Biden’s State of the Union address. Chief Tom Manger shared a statement Sunday, saying the increased security measures were made in collaboration with the Secret Service.

Chief Manger also said the move is out of an abundance of caution ahead of The People’s Convoy, which is expected to descend on Washington, D.C. several days after Biden’s address. Other security measures include establishing National Guard checkpoints around the city. Capitol Police assert the heightened security is to ensure the important work of Congress is allowed to go on uninterrupted.

DOJ Ends Trump-Era China Initiative Program To Fight Espionage

The Justice Department is ending its China Initiative. The move announced Wednesday, Feb. 23, 2022, by Assistant Attorney General Olsen amounts to a rebranding of a Trump-era program that was created to crack down on economic espionage by Beijing but that critics said had unfairly scrutinized Chinese professors on the basis of their ethnicity.

OAN Newsroom

UPDATED 11:05 AM PT – Friday, February 25, 2022

Joe Biden’s Justice Department ended a Trump-era program that countered Chinese espionage against the United States. This week, the DOJ said the 45th president’s China Initiative was not broad enough and claimed it created a climate of fear among Asian Americans.

The China program, launched by Donald Trump’s administration in 2018, was established to prevent China’s theft of U.S. trade secrets, hacking and undue influence on U.S. education as well as politics.

However, Assistant Attorney General Matthew Olsen seems more concerned it depicts the department as racist instead of keeping the focus on combating threats from the Chinese Communist Party.

“But by grouping cases under the China Initiative rubric, we helped give rise to a harmful perception that the Department of Justice applies a lower standard to its investigation and prosecution of criminal conduct related to that country,” Olsen explained. “Or that we in some way view people with racial, ethnic or familial ties to China differently.”

The decision comes in response to a request by far-left activists who say the China initiative was “unfairly targeting Chinese culture and heritage.” However, some national security experts are worried the pullback could threaten the ability for the U.S. government to counter some of the Chinese government’s activities in the states.
