Erika Kirk endorses JD Vance for president in 2028

This discussion thread was locked as off-topic by Emile (a host of the Latest Breaking News forum).

Source: ABC News

Erika Kirk endorsed Vice President JD Vance for president during a Turning Point USA conference in Arizona, vowing to throw one of the most influential conservative organizations in the country behind Vance in 2028.

"We are going to get my husband’s friend JD Vance elected for 48 in the most resounding way possible,” she said during her speech on Thursday night at AmericaFest, the first major Turning Point event since her husband's assassination.

While the endorsement is not a major surprise given Vance’s close relationship with Charlie Kirk, Erika Kirk and Turning Point, it is significant given the group's prominence on the right.

Turning Point, founded by Charlie Kirk in 2012, played a key role in helping elect President Donald Trump and shaping the modern conservative movement, particularly among younger voters.

From the bowels of today’s Republican Party. Hey what’s the latest on the DOJs cover up of trumps pedophile involvement JD? Have you started strategizing how you will distance yourself from your god? Do you have your hate and lie machine tuned up? Will you continue the racist and sexist policies of your rapist boss?

Not unfeasible at all.

Plus, Erika couldn't be FLOTUS married to Charlie.

Narrow-minded, short-sighted, self-centered, resentful, vindictive, meanspirited, callous, bigoted reactionaries.
