iStock/Thinkstock(NASHUA, N.H.) — New Hampshire Republicans are hosting this weekend’s First in the Nation Republican Leadership Summit.
The two-day event begins Friday in Nashua, Hew Hampshire, and will feature speeches by many prospective presidential candidates, including the three senators that have already announced they’re running: Sens. Ted Cruz, Rand Paul, and Marco Rubio.
Other potential candidates who will appear at the event event include Chris Christie, Jeb Bush, Carly Fiorina, Bobby Jindal, Donald Trump, Lindsey Graham, John Kasich, Mike Huckabee, and Scott Walker.
The sold-out event has been described by the Washington Post as a “festival of political speechmaking” that was “designed to formally kick off the 2016 presidential campaign in the early primary state.” The newspaper reports that the summit’s name, advertised as the #FITN Republican Leadership Summit, refers to New Hampshire’s standing as the location of the first in the nation presidential primary.
