The Conservative Political Action Conference wrapped up yesterday in Texas, drawing major attention despite President Donald Trump's absence for the first time in nearly a decade. According to FRANCE 24 English, the event centered on Trump and the ongoing Iran war, which has sparked a stark generational split within the Republican Party. Professor Todd Belt from George Washington University highlighted a recent Pew poll showing men over 35 who identify as MAGA Republicans remain solidly behind Trump on the war, while those under 35 are pulling away, threatening party unity ahead of midterm elections. Texas Senator Ted Cruz took the stage at CPAC, as covered by WFAA, touting Republican victories in the last 15 months, positioning the GOP as the party of blue-collar workers like truck drivers and steelworkers, and contrasting it with Democrats as elites sipping soy lattes. He outlined core priorities of jobs, freedom, and security, while slamming Democrats for refusing to fund ICE deportations of criminals.

John Bolton, Trump's former national security advisor, broke ranks in a Vox interview, criticizing the president's handling of Iran hawks despite his own long history of pushing for regime change there. Meanwhile, massive "No Kings" protests are set to erupt today across the US and worldwide, with ABC News reporting organizers expect millions to turn out—more than last October's rallies—to oppose Trump's policies and the Iran war.

On the international front, Geo News reported backlash against Trump for comments on Mohammed, alongside headlines about a US A-3 Early Warning Plane destroyed at a Saudi base.
