Former President Trump is giving remarks in Florida Saturday during the state Republican Party’s annual Freedom Summit.

Despite mounting legal woes, Trump remains the clear frontrunner in the 2024 GOP presidential primary race.

Several of his 2024 rivals will also speak, including Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, former South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley, entrepreneur Vivek Ramaswamy, former New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie, Sen. Tim Scott (R-S.C.), North Dakota Gov. Doug Burgum and former Arkansas Gov. Asa Hutchinson.
