Summary

The U.S.-led conservative group CPAC held its first meeting in Poland just five days before a crucial presidential election. Vying for Poland's presidency are a liberal mayor and a Trump-backed conservative historian. Kristi Noem of the U.S. homeland security, a Trump ally, urged voters to elect someone who would turn Europe back to conservative values. CPAC has emerged as a key global conservative movement, rebranding itself under Trump's leadership after years of supporting his populist policies.
