As the Turning Point Action conference kicked off in West Palm Beach, Florida on Saturday, the excitement and support for former President Donald Trump’s potential 2024 presidential bid were palpable. Trump, taking the stage in the Sunshine State, didn’t miss the chance to playfully taunt his biggest rival in the GOP presidential primary, Gov. Ron DeSantis (R-FL), urging him to “get home.”
Powerful Speeches and Bold Statements
The day was filled with captivating speeches from notable figures such as Reps. Byron Donalds (R-FL), Matt Gaetz (R-FL), and Anna Paulina Luna (R-FL), all of whom have proudly endorsed the former president. The crowd was also treated to an engaging address by Tucker Carlson. Throughout the event, speakers took the opportunity to discuss their support, or lack thereof, for Ukraine and Trump.
Key Takeaways from the Conference

Tucker Carlson’s Controversial Remarks

Fresh from moderating a presidential forum in Iowa, Carlson playfully hinted at “savaging Mike Pence” but refrained from naming him directly.
