Former Vice President Mike Pence has declined an invitation to attend this year’s Conservative Political Action Conference, Fox News has learned.

Pence was invited to speak at the annual event but turned it down, according to a source familiar with the event planning.

Former President Donald Trump will be in attendance, however, as he is scheduled to make his first major public appearance since leaving office.

Two sources told Fox News that Trump is planning to address the conference on Sunday, Feb. 28. The event will kick off in Orlando, Fla., on Thursday.

A Pence aide told Fox News Sunday that the former vice president has been intentionally been keeping a low profile, focusing on family and his new partnerships with the Heritage Foundation and Young America’s Foundation.

Members of Pence’s team had previously said that Pence harbored some “bitterness” toward Trump after the Jan. 6 riot at the Capitol building.

Former Pence chief of staff Marc Short, however, told Fox News on Friday that Pence and Trump still speak.

Trump is expected to talk about the future of the Republican Party and the conservative movement. Also, look for him to take on President Biden’s “disastrous amnesty and border policies,” according to a source familiar with Trump’s speech.

The former president has stayed relatively quiet since leaving the White House on Jan. 20, but he has indicated he wants to stay politically active and told his supporters after his impeachment acquittal the MAGA movement is still going strong.

“Our historic, patriotic and beautiful movement to Make America Great Again (MAGA) has only just begun,” Trump said in a statement last week. “In the months ahead I have much to share with you, and I look forward to continuing our incredible journey together to achieve American greatness for all of our people. There has never been anything like it!”

CPAC will feature a slew of former Trump administration officials and others who represent his wing of the GOP, including former Secretary of State Mike Pompeo, Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, and South Dakota Gov. Kristi Noem.
