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.
Man, can you imagine willingly watching the Megyn Kelly show? Out of all of the insane right wing talking heads, she has got to have the most annoying holier than thou voice. Match that with her batshit views, and I think you’ve got new CIA blacksite 24/7 TV material that’d make Cheney crawl back out of his grave to say “hey, isn’t that a bit of a harsh punishment?”
And I guess Ericka Kirk is in this story too. Who really gives a shit? She’s only in the media until Charlie’s death stops being useful, then turning point will replace her with a man (this is still the right wing, after all) and she will then start a podcast and fully fade into relative obscurity.
