Erika Kirk and Turning Point USA are all in on a JD Vance presidency.
Speaking with Megyn Kelly, Charlie Kirk’s widow was asked by the conservative podcaster about backing a JD Vance presidential ticket, and her answer shouldn’t really come as a surprise to anyone who has been paying attention.
Kirk told Kelly, “It’s in the works. This was a thing my husband was very direct about. One of the last few conversations we had was how intentional he was for supporting JD in 2028.”
Turning Point USA is a conservative student advocacy group that was instrumental in helping Trump win the 2024 election by bolstering the youth turnout. The organization’s founder was assassinated while at a “Prove Me Wrong” campus event in Utah in September.

During the interview, at Kelly’s Glendale, Arizona, tour stop, the current CEO of Turning Point USA confirmed her unwavering support for the Vances. Both the Vice President and his wife accompanied the body of Charlie Kirk aboard Air Force II, with Vance even helping with carrying the casket across the tarmac in Salt Lake City, Utah.
Is There Something Weird Going On Between Erika Kirk & JD Vance?
Speaking on the support she has received from Vance since her husband’s death, Kirk said it “has been a blessing” and that the VP and his wife, Usha, have shown her “genuine love.”
All of this is interesting because Kirk and Vance’s relationship has been put under a microscope following what social media deemed as a very awkward embrace between the “two friends” with Kirk touching the back of the married VP’s head while at a Turning Point USA event at the University of Mississippi honoring Charlie Kirk back in October.
When introducing Vance to the crowd, Kirk said, “No one will ever replace my husband, no, but I do see some similarities between my husband and JD,” which had folks on social media saying, “What?”
Kelly asked Kirk about that exact moment, and she downplayed it as an embrace between them out of mutual respect while explaining the head touching.
“They just played the emotional video. I’m walking over, he’s walking over. I’m starting to cry,” Kirk told Kelly.
“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.’”
“That’s just me,” Kirk continued.
“If you want to take that out of context, go right ahead. Again, that to me shows that you need a hug.”
Interesting.
Does Donald Trump Approve of Erika Kirk Supporting JD Vance for President?
Then there’s also the small matter of the talk of Trump running for a third term, which is unconstitutional, but according to Steve Bannon, it’s something he and his team are actively working on, and Trump has been teasing that he will run again with the release of “Trump 2028.
Despite being a loyal lapdog, Trump hasn’t even thought about giving Vance his blessing to replace and keep the MAGA movement going.
Welp.
Then, some have noticed that Vance’s wife, Usha, whom he wished was Christian, was spotted no longer wearing her wedding ring, only adding more fuel to Vance/Kirk rumors.
We are very intrigued to see how this entire situation plays out.

Antonio Brown sparked outrage and shock after appearing in a recent livestream event and mentioning a controversial political figure in the process. While hanging out with Adin Ross and Tekashi 6ix9ine, Antonio Brown made a joke at Charlie Kirk’s expense, which angered the late speaker’s base.
Antonio Brown, 37, was with Adin Ross, 25, and Tekashi 6ix9ine, 29, at the rapper’s Florida home for one of Ross’ signature livestream events. As is the case with this type of airing, Ross and the crew were involved in several zany antics as they let viewers in on a slice of their lives.
While running routes outside in 6ix9ine’s yard, a vehicle drove up that was unfamiliar to the crew. As heard in the video clip that we’ll share below, Brown can be heard making the Kirk quip.
“No one’s gonna Charlie Kirk me, right?” Brown asked under his breath before someone asked him to repeat himself. Once the remark was heard by the crew, Ross groaned, placed his hand on Brown’s shoulder and uttered “Oh my god” before the video faded out.
Several people landed in hot water after making jokes and statements about Kirk’s assassination, including the firing of an MSNBC commentator who didn’t even make a joke but an observation about the controversial conservative mouthpiece. There were reactions from fans of Kirk online, and they were intense as one can imagine.

Social media thinks something weird is going on between JD Vance and Charlie Kirk’s widow, Erika Kirk.
Vice President JD Vance took time out of his “busy schedule” to speak at Turning Point USA’s event held at the University of Mississippi, honoring its deceased founder, Charlie Kirk.
Before Vance opened his mouth to say something that surely would come off strange, it was Erika Kirk’s weird introduction that had gone viral.
“I am tremendously blessed and honored tonight to be able to introduce to you a very, very dear friend and his wife. They are incredible,” Kirk began.
“No one will ever replace my husband, no, but I do see some similarities of my husband in JD,” she continued, which also had a lot of folks saying Huh?
After calling him an “amazing man,” Kirk left the stage to let a montage of Vance play before returning to the stage for a very interesting, to say the least, embrace.
Rocking leather pants and a white t-shirt, the two friends hugged, but it’s Kirk’s hands on Vance’s head that is garnering a lot of attention on social media.
“This man made the worst move of his life. I tried to excuse it for pure denial but if I was married to him he would be walking the golden streets with Charlie,” one post read.
Another post read, “If a broad hugs my man like this whilst gingerly cupping the back of his head with her hand, she’s getting TOUCHED.”
As we mentioned above, all of this happened before Vance opened his mouth and said he wished his wife would convert to Christianity.
Yikes.
