Live updates: Donalds, Lake, Grenell among Trump allies highlighting CPAC's second day
National security adviser Mike Waltz, special presidential envoy Richard Grenell and former Arizona Senate candidate Kari Lake were among the high-profile Republicans speaking at the Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC) on Friday.
They come after an eyebrow-raising first day, in which Vice President Vance addressed his controversial remarks about Europe and Elon Musk brought a chainsaw with him on stage.
The Senate pulled an all-nighter entering Friday, adopting a budget resolution intended to serve as a blueprint to deliver the first part of Trump’s agenda. In the wee hours, Senators voted 52-48 mostly along party lines on the resolution after a marathon overnight voting session. Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.) joined Democrats in voting against the measure.
The president's Friday included a lunch with Vance, the swearing in of Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick and signing more executive orders.
