The Faith & Freedom Coalition announced the lineup for its annual Road to Majority Conference, which includes potential running mates for former President Donald Trump such as Glenn Youngkin, Kristi Noem, Ben Carson, and Tulsi Gabbard. The conference is one of the largest gatherings of conservative Christian activists in the U.S. and will address policy issues important to voters of faith leading up to the 2024 election. The event provides an opportunity for potential running mates to showcase their views on key policy topics like abortion and family values in hopes of gaining Trump’s approval for the Republican ticket.
The importance of the Christian vote in the upcoming election was emphasized by F&F founder Ralph Reed, who stated that voters of faith make up a significant portion of the electorate and are crucial for victory. Reed highlighted the focus on abortion by Democrats this year and suggested that they are trying to divert attention from other important issues like the economy and national security. Despite concerns about abortion-related ballot initiatives in some states, Reed expressed confidence that voters motivated by these topics would not automatically side with Democrats.
The conference will feature a diverse lineup of speakers, including politicians like Lindsey Graham and Bill Hagerty, as well as former government officials like Ben Carson. The event aims to provide a platform for conservative voices to discuss key policy issues and showcase their potential as running mates for Trump. Reed emphasized the importance of the conference as a turnout vehicle for voters of faith and suggested that the lineup of speakers reflects the depth of talent and capability within the conservative movement.
In addition to discussing policy issues like abortion and family values, the conference will also address broader themes like economic growth, national security, and immigration. The event provides an opportunity for conservative leaders to rally their base and energize voters ahead of the 2024 election. With the Republican National Convention approaching, the Road to Majority Conference serves as a platform for potential running mates to make their case for inclusion on the Republican ticket.
The conference is scheduled to take place from June 20-22 at the Washington Hilton in Washington, D.C. Reed indicated that more speakers could be added to the lineup as the event approaches. The gathering is expected to draw significant attention from conservative activists, policymakers, and media outlets as potential running mates for Trump and other key figures in the conservative movement take the stage to discuss pressing policy issues and showcase their credentials as potential leaders of the Republican Party.
