Erika Kirk says Turning Point USA intends to support JD Vance in 2028 election, following her late husband's wishes
In an interview with Megyn Kelly released on Monday, Erika Kirk said that her late husband Charlie told her before his death that his political organization, Turning Point USA, should support JD Vance in the 2028 presidential election

“That was a thing that my husband was very direct about,” Kirk said. “One of the last few conversations we had was how intentional he was about supporting JD for ’28.”

Kelly also asked Kirk what she made of the viral backlash to the hug she gave Vance at a public appearance at the University of Mississippi last month. Kirk said that she hugged Vance in a style that is common for her and recounted the circumstances of the hug.

“They just played the emotional video – I’m walking over, he’s walking over. I’m starting to cry,” Kirk said. “He says, ‘He’s so proud of you.’ And I say, ‘God bless you,’ and I touch the back of his head. Anyone who I have hugged, that I have touched the back of your head when I hug you, I always say, ‘God bless you.’”

The only person hated by elected republicans more than Vance is Ted Cruz.

I can see the signs now:

J.D. - He’s not Ted!

I predict Vance won't make it out of a primary. But it won't be Cancun Cruz
