Sen. Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., was not invited to the conference, CPAC sources told McClatchy.

Former Vice President Mike Pence declined an invite to speak, as he plans to take a break from the public stage over the next few months. Sen. Rand Paul, R-Ky., was invited to this year's conference but also declined, as he has in recent years.
