Erika Kirk Makes Her 2028 Presidential Endorsement — And It's Raising Eyebrows
HuffPost
Social media users had a field day after Kirk underscored her hope to elect her pick "in the most resounding way possible."
Erika Kirk, the widow of Charlie Kirk, endorsed Vice President JD Vance for president on Thursday.
The chairwoman and CEO of the right-wing Turning Point USA made the announcement during the organization’s annual AmericaFest conference, the first since her husband’s assassination in September.
“We are going to get my husband’s friend, JD Vance, elected for 48 in the most resounding way possible,” said Kirk, whose announcement was met with cheers and applause.
Kirk’s endorsement occurred nearly a month after she told right-wing commentator Megyn Kelly that Turning Point USA’s support for a possible Vance 2028 campaign was “in the works.” She also revealed that one of the last conversations she had with her husband was about how “intentional” he was about supporting Vance in the next presidential election.
Vance, who is scheduled to speak at AmericaFest on Sunday, has yet to announce a 2028 bid. He told Fox News’ Sean Hannity last month that he wants to focus on next year’s midterms before discussing a possible presidential run.
