Turning Point USA CEO Erika Kirk said her organization’s efforts to support a potential JD Vance presidential campaign in 2028 are “in the works.”
Her late husband, Charlie Kirk, was an early advocate of Vance during Donald Trump’s vice presidential selection process in 2024, and the two remained close friends until Kirk’s assassination in Utah in September.
But the promise of the group’s backing is a critical acquisition for Vance’s hypothetical future presidential campaign. While Vance remains the most obvious apparent heir to Trump’s MAGA movement, other prominent Republicans have been making subtle moves to position themselves as candidates in 2028.
Turning Point, which Charlie Kirk co-founded in 2012 and ran until his death, has transformed into one of the most influential organizations in MAGA politics and has been credited with helping to galvanize young people to support Trump in the 2024 election. Erika Kirk took over the organization and vowed to keep it going in her husband’s memory shortly after he was killed.
Erika Kirk told Kelly that one of the last conversations she had with her husband was about “how intentional he was about supporting JD for ’28.”

Whoa..why am I not surprised! So Usha appearing without wedding ring is not a coincident?

Sounds like he needs a new wife. What spectacular timing

First, heh, I bet she is. Second, I’m sure he doesn’t need much support.

Well duh, she wants to be First Lady.

Everytime I see her face I want to vomit.. I’m sure Charlie is grateful he’s free of her

Which one do you think uses more eyeliner?
In seriousness, I can’t imagine the fervent MAGA base getting excited by the absolute limp noodle known as JD Vance.

These people really think we can’t SEE what’s going on lol.
They’re going to be a couple by that time.

I shudder to think that Candace Owens is on to something, but she’s been saying the Trump regime killed Kirk so they could control Turning Point USA, stop Kirk’s criticism of Israel, and turn it into the youth brigade for MAGA. And when Erika seems to be lining this up for Vance, well, it makes me wonder. And Usha, you in danger…..

More proof that Charlie’s assassination will be milked for all it’s worth by Republicans. I don’t think it’s worth nearly as much as they think it is.

According to conservatives, isn’t she supposed to be staying at home and not in a leadership position?

He’ll still have the charisma of a wet blanket, so if they waste their money in that direction, more power to them

If a woman is running Turning Point then what is the point? Aren’t they a male domination advocacy group?

Vance is a drip, has no charisma, can’t make a single solid point and besides, has a foreign born wife and is sexually attracted to living room furniture.

Great way to ensure JD is never President. I like it!

I certainly hope so. Nobody actually likes Vance, so it means they’d be wasting their time and resources on a hopeless candidate, which is about the best that can be hoped for
Fragrant-Vehicle-479 on
Jokes aside, Vance will never get off the ground. If there’s one thing I’ve learned speaking to the Trump supporters in my office, no one has this magical hold on people Trump has. No one else. Vance is awkward and weak in their eyes. Say what you will about Trump, he exudes unearned toxic confidence. Vance doesn’t.
-My favorite thing is listening to them hate every single person in Trumps cabinet. They hate Vance, they hate RFK, they hate Patel. They hate every single person around Trump, but Trump. They can’t seem to put two and two together.

J.D. has zero charisma, let TPUSA throw their money down that pit.
If he leaves his wife for her in the process, that just makes the failure more profound.

That’s going to backfire for Vance because it’s just going to fuel speculation that he’s grooming her to be his 2nd wife. It won’t be the same as if Charlie Kirk had endorsed him.
also, even MAGA doesn’t like Vance. Trump doesn’t like him either. Usha looks like she’s had enough. I think the only person in America that likes JD is Erika, and her intentions seem pretty obvious.
