It's Time

The Gathering starts at 8:30am ET today. We have people from 40 total states who made it out of 47 states registered. The room is bursting at the seams already as people are eating breakfast. We have press from a half dozen countries. Tim Scott takes the stage at 8:45am.

You can follow along live at YouTube.com/ewerickson and if you have access to The First, they’re streaming it live on televisions and streaming devices across America.

If you follow me on Instagram at @ewerickson, we’ll be doing non-political short interviews with the candidates before they come on stage.

Here, for paid subscribers, we’ll be sending out exclusive content.

Otherwise, see y’all Monday.
