OXON HILL, Maryland (AP) – The Latest on the Conservative Political Action Conference (all times local):
10:05 a.m.
White House counselor Kellyanne Conway is thanking conservatives for helping elect President Donald Trump.
Conway tells a gathering in a Maryland suburb of Washington that while Trump might not have naturally bonded with conservatives at first, “he went right to the grassroots and brought you along.”
She says, “He earned the nomination in a way that was bottom-up, not top-down.” She also describes Trump as “a man who just absorbs information and people and experiences.”
