Turning Point USA CEO Erika Kirk declared during the organization’s AmericaFest conference that she will work to get Vice President JD Vance elected in 2028.
“We are locked in and mission-focused for both 2026 and 2028,” she told the audience, describing that the organization aims to invest “in states and not just in races. So what I mean by that is we are building the red wall — Arizona, Nevada, New Hampshire. That’s going to be very important to us.” Kirk added, “We are going to get my husband’s friend JD Vance elected for 48 in the most resounding way possible.”
Elsewhere in her address to the crowd, Kirk declared, “What I’m inspired by is the fact that Charlie and I, again, will go wherever we need to go, but so will you. That’s why you guys are here. All of you here are because you know you’re saying, ‘I want to do something.'”
Following Charlie Kirk’s death, Vance hosted an episode of “The Charlie Kirk Show” from the White House. From his office, Vance said he “wanted to use this show today to advocate for Charlie, to talk about him, to talk about what kind of a guy he was, talk about what kind of a man he was, what kind of a husband and father he was.”
In October, President Trump addressed 2028 ticket rumors. “I don’t have to get into that, but we have one of them standing right here,” he said, referring to Secretary of State Marco Rubio. “We have JD, obviously. The Vice President is great. Marco is great, I think. I’m not sure if anybody would run against those.”
“I think if they ever formed a group, it would be unstoppable,” he asserted.
