Erika Kirk just threw the full weight of Turning Point USA behind JD Vance for a 2028 presidential run. Speaking at the group's AmericaFest event, she pledged to get her late husband Charlie's friend elected in a resounding way. This gives the Vice President a direct line to one of the most influential conservative youth networks, which was pivotal in past elections.
Vance hasn't officially declared yet, saying he'll focus on the midterms first before discussing it with the President. He has credited Charlie Kirk's organizing for much of the current administration's success. The endorsement adds to growing GOP establishment support, with figures like Marco Rubio saying he'd back Vance as the nominee and Donald Trump praising him as a great future option. With this machine behind him, Vance is positioned as an early frontrunner with serious grassroots firepower.
