It’s Friday morning, the kickoff to the 2021 Conservative Political Action Conference, and one thing is clear from the start: the Orlando resort hosting this year’s event is teeming.
Conference-goers crowd the Hyatt Regency’s air-conditioned hallways. In the lobby, recent arrivals wait impatiently with their bags. The line I’m moving through is progressing swiftly into the ballrooms and hallways where the conference is being held. (The venue was changed at the last minute from its usual locale, at the National Harbor, to take advantage of Florida’s lax pandemic protections.)
