A wave of support is building within Turning Point USA for a potential presidential contender. CEO Erika Kirk and Vice President JD Vance are set to address attendees at AmericaFest in Phoenix, signaling a deliberate focus on the future of the conservative movement.
The endorsements began with Kirk, a figure deeply respected within the organization and carrying the legacy of her late husband, Charlie Kirk. Her words resonated with a clear mission: secure a supportive Congress for a potential second Trump term and then propel Vance to the forefront of the 2028 election.
Representative Anna Paulina Luna amplified this message, framing the upcoming election as a continuation of Charlie Kirk’s vision. She passionately urged conference attendees to actively participate in shaping the future, emphasizing the importance of carrying forward the work he began.
Luna’s direct call for “JD Vance 2028” wasn’t simply a political statement; it was presented as a fulfillment of a promise to a fallen leader. The sentiment suggests a deliberate passing of the torch, entrusting Vance with the responsibility of advancing the conservative agenda.
The coordinated endorsements and prominent stage time at AmericaFest indicate a strategic effort to position Vance as a leading candidate. This move suggests Turning Point USA is already actively shaping the narrative for the next presidential cycle, building momentum behind a chosen successor.
