US EditionTurning Point USA's Erika Kirk Backs Vice President JD Vance's Potential 2028 Presidential Bid
Erika Kirk pledged Turning Point USA's support for JD Vance, emphasizing their role in securing Republican victories and honoring her late husband's influence.
- Erika Kirk, widow of Charlie Kirk and CEO of Turning Point USA, endorsed Vice President JD Vance at an Arizona event on Dec. 18, pledging to help make him the 48th president.
- Because Vance escorted Kirk's casket and spoke at his memorial, he credits slain activist Charlie Kirk with aiding his political rise in recent years.
- Kirk pledged `We are going to get my husband's friend JD Vance elected for 48 in the most resounding way possible`, while TPUSA's backing could boost Vance's standing despite no 2028 announcement.
- The endorsement immediately adds momentum as the conference exposed intense infighting among conservative influencers and MAGA movement figures over Vance and the movement's direction.
- With other contenders still active, President Donald Trump praised Vance as the "most likely" heir while Marco Rubio, Secretary of State, and Sen. Ted Cruz keep the 2028 field competitive as Vance appears at Americafest with over 30,000 attendees.
