What is it? The 2024 Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC). The event, which kicks off today, brings together politicians, activists, and media to network and buy merch that says things like “[Trumpinator](.” This year, the headliner is former President Trump, who's expected to speak later this week. Since Trump is the clear [front-runner]( in the GOP primary, the burning question at this CPAC is over who his running mate will be. Enter: the CPAC VP straw poll, which reportedly has 17 contenders, ranging from long shots like Tucker Carlson to more viable candidates like Rep. Elise Stefanik (R-NY). Then, there's Trump’s lone remaining opponent, former UN ambassador Nikki Haley. Does Haley want to be Trump’s running mate? In her words, that's “[off the table](.” While campaigning this week in her home state of [South Carolina](, Haley [vowed]( to stay in the GOP race, at least until Super Tuesday. She also [called out]( her fellow Republicans for being too scared to stand up to Trump, adding, “I feel no need to kiss the ring. I have no fear of Trump’s retribution.” Her comments come as one poll found Haley trails Trump by [23 points]( in South Carolina. There are at least 40 GOP primaries and nine GOP caucuses still left. However, Trump’s campaign projects he will claim enough delegates to [secure the nomination]( by March 12. theSkimm The annual gathering of conservatives appears to have put its support behind Trump as the GOP presidential nominee. Now, as the focus shifts to his potential VP pick, Haley is urging Republicans to not count her out yet.
