"Charlie was fascinated by ideas and always willing to learn and change his mind," wrote the Vice President. "Like me, he was skeptical of Donald Trump in 2016. Like me, he came to see President Trump as the only figure capable of moving American politics away from the globalism that had dominated for our entire lives."
"Charlie was one of the first people I called when I thought about running for senate in early 2021. We talked through everything, from the strategy to the fundraising to the grassroots of the movement he knew so well. He introduced me to some of the people who would run my campaign and also to Donald Trump Jr."Kirk, a longtime advocate for young people in the conservative movement, was described by Vance as pivotal to President Trump's decision-making process in his selection as running mate in 2024.
