The closed-door retreat is set to be held the same weekend as CPAC, which Trump will be headlining.
The relationship between Trump and CFG has also beenwith David McIntosh, the former GOP congressman and president of Club for Growth, telling CBS News and other reporters that GOP voters should be"open to looking at a different candidate" than Trump. "DeSantis is in the strongest position," he added, citing their poll.
Despite Trump not attending the CFG event, there are plenty of 2024 GOP hopefuls who will be speaking, including Ron DeSantis, former Vice President Mike Pence, former UN ambassador, Sen. Tim Scott of South Carolina, New Hampshire Gov. Chris Sununu and Vivek Ramaswamy. Former Secretary of State Mike Pompeo and Virginia Gov. Glenn Youngkin were both invited to the Club for Growth retreat but could not attend, according to a source familiar with the planning.
DeSantis and Pence declined invites to CPAC. Haley and Ramaswamy are the only two declared presidential candidates who are attending both CPAC and CFG events. Representatives of Scott had been discussing his attendance at CPAC with event organizers but as of Tuesday morning, Scott does not plan on attending the annual Republican cattle call.
Some GOP operatives associated with the non-Trump political operations have told CBS News that CPAC has become too closely associated with Trump and his campaign, and not worth attending, especially with the annual straw poll likely going to Trump.
