Donald Trump, the solid front-runner in Florida and nationally in the GOP presidential race, will be the sixth and final candidate to speak at the Republican Party of Florida’s Sunshine Summit taking place Nov. 13-14 at Rosen Shingle Creek in Orlando.
Twelve candidates in all will participate in the event, a fundraiser for the RPOF and one that looked in danger of being a bust just a few weeks ago when only native sons Marco Rubio and Jeb Bush had committed to participating.
Rubio will be the first speaker Friday the 13th. Bush will also speak that day, with Trump closing out the day with a 5:30 p.m. scheduled speech.
Ben Carson, George Pataki and Jim Gilmore are the only other candidates who have not yet committed to the event. Carson will be making multiple stops in early November as part of his national book tour.
The RPOF says that the four candidates running for U.S. Senate: Lt. Gov. Carlos Lopez-Cantera, former CIA contractor Todd Wilcox, and U.S. Reps. David Jolly and Ron DeSantis will also speak, times to be determined.
The Sunshine Summit officially starts Nov. 12, with a speech by former Vice President Dick Cheney.
