GOP hoping to get a handle on internal crisis at this year's CPAC: 'Can we pull together?'

Republicans are hoping to regroup and rally at this year's Conservative Political Action Conference, although President Donald Trump will be notably absent for the first time since he took over as the party's dominant figure.

CPAC chairman Matt Schlapp is hoping to rein in GOP infighting at this year's event, which will be held in suburban Dallas, and is warning that internal divisions could hurt Republican chances of holding on to their congressional majorities in this fall's midterm elections, reported Reuters.
