Trump's CPAC Absence: Unity, Iran, Border Security

0:00It's March 28th. Welcome in. This is Durham News Today, where local news meets AI. President Donald Trump skipped the conservative political action conference for the first time in nearly 10 years. But the whole event and great-bind, Texas, still spun around his moves. Speakers clashed over his push against Iran, cheered his tough immigration stance, and pushed hard for party unity, heading into tough midterms. Unlike last year when folks were hyped after Trump took office again, and Elon Musk swung a chainsaw for government cuts, this time, the vibe was more. Cauches. Leaders like Mercedes-Schlapp and Franklin Graham warned against division, saying, save the attacks for opponents on the left. Plenty of reactions poured in on the Iran tensions. Iranian-American showed up strong, chanting thanks to Trump and calling it a shot at liberation. But voices like maggates push back against the ground invasion, warning it could spike gas and food prices without killing more threats than it, creates. Border security stole the show with huge applause.
