Something big is brewing in the conservative movement—and it’s not just about the 2028 presidential race. It’s about the future of the country and who’s going to keep America moving in the right direction. Vice President JD Vance has become a serious name to watch, and the folks over at Turning Point USA know it.
Erika Kirk, the new CEO of Turning Point USA, recently made it clear that the organization is gearing up to support Vance if he runs for president in 2028. In an interview on the Megyn Kelly show, she revealed that this plan is “in the works.” And this isn’t just organizational talk. This is personal. Erika said one of the last conversations she had with her late husband, Charlie Kirk, before he was tragically assassinated, was about how strongly he supported JD Vance for 2028.
Now, for those who don’t know, Charlie Kirk was a fearless defender of conservative values and a key fighter in the MAGA movement. Erika has stepped up to carry on that torch with strength and grace. But even with 2028 coming into focus, she’s not rushing past the important work that must be done right now.
“Let’s start with the midterms before we start jumping to 2028,” Erika said. And she’s absolutely right. We’ve got Donald Trump back in the White House—thank God—and we need to make sure we don’t let the Democrats claw their way back into power and undo everything we’ve fought for.
JD Vance, for his part, isn’t getting distracted either. In his own words, “The American people elected me to do a job right now. And my job is to do it.” That’s the kind of leadership we need—someone who doesn’t chase headlines or personal ambition but stays focused on the mission: protecting the American people and restoring our great nation.
Let’s check the scoreboard. Republicans currently hold a 53–45 majority in the Senate, with two independents siding with the Democrats. In the House, Republicans have a slim 219–212 edge, with four vacant seats. That means the Democrats are just four Senate seats away from flipping the chamber. And in the House, we can’t afford to lose more than two seats.
This is why Vance says we need to “do everything we can” to keep Congress red, strong, and united behind President Trump. Because if the Democrats get back in charge, they’ll waste no time reversing the progress we’ve made. They’ll bring back open borders, higher taxes, and radical social policies that divide our communities and tear down our values.
And let’s not forget, President Trump himself has been clear-eyed about the filibuster. He recently said that if Republicans don’t end the Senate’s 60-vote rule, it will only make it easier for Democrats to win future elections and block his agenda. He’s right. The filibuster has become a tool for obstruction, not debate.
The American people deserve leaders who put them first—not power-hungry elites who see government as a way to control their lives. JD Vance has proven himself as a fighter for the working class, a voice for Middle America, and a loyal vice president to our president, Donald J. Trump.
So yes, 2028 is coming. And yes, JD Vance may be the next in line to carry the MAGA mantle. But for now, the mission is clear: win the midterms, keep the House and Senate red, and make sure President Trump has the support he needs to finish the job he started. This fight isn’t just about politics—it’s about saving the soul of our nation.
