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.”
Kirk’s comments on an episode of The Megyn Kelly Show that was released on Monday were not unexpected.
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.
Please do. If there are any sort of legitimate elections, JD ain’t winning them. His favourability is lower than Trump’s and I doubt they can rescue that. He sounds much more toxic than trump and he reeks of unauthenticity.
“They can’t be dumb enough to vote for trump”

MAGA is a classic cult of personality, and there is no #2. There are plenty of narcissistic morons who think they can be #2, but once Trump assumes room temperature, the knives are going to come out, the backstabbing will commence, and half of the MAGA support will evaporate, and the other half will splinter.
With MAGA burning, it will be the Democrats versus the Sociopathic Oligarchs, and the Dems will have to act boldly and decisively if they want to survive the onslaught of capitalist violence.
Vance can’t generate the same kind of cult of personality that Trump can. The GOP would be sunk without that.
That’s why they are going to saddle the neckhole dude’s widow with him.
100%, a huge portion of the US seems to be aggressively stupid and will continue to vote for Republicans regardless of the leader. The entire US political system needs to be burned down and reconstructed along with massive changes to the education system otherwise, even if a Democrat somehow gets back in, it’s just postponing further fascism when the Republicans return.
TBH I think at this point the US needs to Balkanise itself; I don’t know any other way out of the current mess it’s in
The way out is mass cult de-programming programs first, then arrest/remove/??? the propaganda sources like Fox, Newsmax, OANN, in the first place. Then “provide justice” (edit: there are plenty of legal ways to do this) to the few dozen billionaires causing most of this. Then from there the rest will begin to heal itself, but first you have to cut out the tumor/infection.
Yeah that ain’t happening with out a Balkanizing civil war. Too many guns, too many nukes on too many bases in the backyards of too many psychophants who have been voting for the same political sports team for far too many years
It’s not their dumbness we’d be counting against for Vance though. The racists hate him because of his wife and children. Most everyone else hates him because he’s a charisma vacuum. It’s just the techbros lead by Thiele propping him up.
