Former President Trump delivered the keynote address at the Faith and Freedom Coalition's Road to Majority Conference just days ahead of his first debate with President Biden
Former President Trump fired up a major gathering of conservative and faith voters on Saturday, just days ahead of what's expected to be an epic head-to-head battle with President Biden in the first presidential debate of 2024. A diverse crowd of more than a thousand attendees of the Faith & Freedom Coalition's annual Road to Majority conference piled into the Washington Hilton's ballroom to hear the former president, who spared no time in mentioning the pending clash.
He spent part of his opening remarks calling for Christians to get out and vote in November. 'Christians don't vote that much. You don't have to vote in four years, but you have to vote this time,' he joked. Trump spoke on a number of issues important to voters of faith, including late-term abortion and his administration's movement of the U.S. embassy in Israel from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem.
Noem, Carson and Gabbard have also all been mentioned as potential running mates for Trump. The event marks the latest instance where a number of those reportedly in the running for the role could be competing on stage for Trump's approval ahead of the Republican National Convention this summer. Trump will meet Biden on an Atlanta stage this Thursday in a debate hosted by CNN, the first meeting between the two rivals since their final debate ahead of the 2020 presidential election. The two are only expected to meet on the debate stage one other time ahead of the November general election, when ABC News hosts its debate in September.
