Former President Donald Trump is set to be a keynote speaker at an upcoming event hosted by Turning Point Action, a move that underscores his continued influence and leadership within the conservative movement as he gears up for the 2024 presidential election.
The event, dubbed “The People’s Convention,” is scheduled to take place from June 14-16 in Detroit and promises to be a major gathering of conservative voices and supporters from across the nation.
Charlie Kirk, the founder of Turning Point USA, announced Trump’s participation via a post on X (formerly Twitter), expressing enthusiasm and inviting attendees to what he described as “the summer convention where everyone is invited.”

Kirk’s announcement emphasizes the importance of the event in rallying support and momentum for the conservative cause as it approaches the next election cycle.
The convention is poised to feature a range of prominent figures from the conservative movement, alongside a straw poll and workshops intended to prepare attendees for electoral success in November.
With thousands expected to attend from all 50 states and numerous sponsoring organizations, the event aims to serve as a central hub for conservative political activity and networking ahead of the Republican National Convention and the 2024 general election.
Reactions to Trump’s confirmed appearance have been overwhelmingly positive among his supporters, with many emphasizing the importance of voter registration efforts that Trump’s presence could bolster.
These supporters are hopeful for a particular victory in the upcoming elections, viewing Trump’s involvement as crucial to energizing the base and securing electoral success.

Trump’s role as a headline speaker at such events not only solidifies his position as a central figure in the Republican Party but also reflects his ongoing strategy to maintain visibility and influence within the party’s grassroots.
Last year’s Turning Point Action Conference straw poll, which Trump led convincingly, demonstrated his robust support base, which seems to have only grown in the face of numerous challenges and criticisms.
As “The People’s Convention” approaches, further announcements are anticipated, likely adding to the event’s appeal and impact. This gathering will undoubtedly be a key moment in the lead-up to the 2024 elections, providing Trump and other conservative leaders with a platform to articulate their vision and rally their supporters for the electoral battles that lie ahead.
