All eyes will be on a pair of speeches today in Washington, one by the
former president and one by the former vice president. 

Mike Pence, whose scheduled speech yesterday at Heritage was scrapped
due to travel issues, speaks at 9 a.m. at Young America's Foundation's
National Conservative Student Conference. Stream it via YouTube

Donald Trump speaks at 3:00 p.m. at the America First Agenda Summit.
Stream it via C-SPAN

Because this is Trump world, not only is there the already
much-discussed drama of the Trump/Pence speech-off, but there’s new
drama over Trump’s choice of venue.

Former key Trump aide Peter Navarro is publicly asking Trump not to go
forward with the event because he believes that the America First Policy
Institute, which is hosting the summit, is insufficiently devoted to
Trumpism — or at least what Navarro believes Trumpism to be in a piece
headlined “Trump’s ‘Think Tank’ Prepares to Betray Him” for the
MAGA-aligned online outlet American Greatness.
