Erika Kirk Says Turning Point’s Support for JD Vance in 2028 Is ‘In the Works’. Erika Kirk reveals that Turning Point is preparing to support Vice President JD Vance in a potential 2028 presidential bid. Speaking to Megyn Kelly in Arizona, Kirk says backing Vance was one of the last political plans her late husband Charlie Kirk discussed. Charlie Kirk, Turning Point USA’s founder and a top Trump ally, was shot and killed in September during an event in Utah. Since his death, Vance has taken on a larger role promoting Turning Point’s message and continuing Kirk’s campus tour. Vance recently visited the University of Mississippi and even hosted an episode of Kirk’s podcast featuring Trump administration officials. Turning Point’s internal push for Vance aligns with Charlie Kirk’s long-standing advocacy for him as Trump’s running mate. Vance has made no formal moves toward a 2028 run but says he will discuss the possibility with President Trump after the 2026 midterms. For now, the vice president tells Fox News he remains focused on his current role and helping Republicans secure midterm victories.
