More than a month after leaving the White House, Donald Trump is set to make his first public appearance as a former president.

And he is set to do so at the biggest event for America's political conservatives.

Mr Trump is due to speak on Sunday afternoon at the Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC) in Florida, his first address since leaving office.

CPAC is often used as a launching pad for Republicans looking to run for president, so all eyes will be on Mr Trump.

While he has hinted at another run for the White House, CPAC would give him a large platform from which to make an announcement.

"I think the broader point will be: Here's where the Republican Party and conservative movement and the America First movement goes from here," Trump adviser Jason Miller said.

"In many ways, this will be a throwback to 2016, where the president ran against Washington.

"Here we'll see the president address the fact that the only divide in the Republican Party is between the elites and the conservative grassroots in the party."

Presidential candidates usually never announce a run this early, but Mr Trump has hardly sought to follow typical conventions of political behaviour.

Keenly watching will be other Republicans interested in running for president themselves, but not wanting to face off against Mr Trump in a primary.

They include former Secretary of State Mike Pompeo, Senators Ted Cruz of Texas and Josh Hawley of Missouri, and Governors Ron DeSantis of Florida and Kristi Noem of South Dakota.

CPAC will be the first time Mr Trump has stood in front of a microphone since leaving office. The bans he received from Twitter and other social media platforms have largely muffled his efforts to voice his thoughts in recent weeks.

On Friday a panel will discuss the topic of "Protecting Elections: Why Judges & Media Refused to Look at the Evidence".

Then on Sunday morning, speakers will talk about the "Failed States" of Nevada, Georgia and Pennsylvania, all of which narrowly voted for Joe Biden.

The conference, to be held in Florida, will feature prominent Republican politicians from around the country.

But none of those who supported impeaching Mr Trump have been invited.

Also not attending is Mike Pence, after his falling out with Mr Trump on January 6.

And Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, who lambasted Mr Trump over his behaviour leading up to the Capitol riots, is not going either.

Both have previously been mainstays of the conference.

The theme of the event is "America Uncanceled", but already one guest has been uninvited for his hateful views.

Rapper Young Pharoah was due to appear, but his appearance was cancelled over his anti-Semitic views.

"We have just learned that someone we invited to CPAC has expressed reprehensible views that have no home with our conference or our organisation," CPAC said in a statement.

"The individual will not be participating at our conference."
