Vice President JD Vance to Join Erika Kirk at Major TPUSA Event: “I’m Going to Do Exactly What Charlie Did”

The legacy that Charlie Kirk left behind is lasting.

Many are stepping in to continue his mission, and that includes Vice President JD Vance.

Today on ‘The Charlie Kirk Show,’ it was announced that VP Vance will be appearing at the upcoming Ole Miss Turning Point USA event.

While he acknowledged that “nobody can replace Charlie” (especially that Brilyn Hollyhand kid!), Vance said that is “going to do exactly what Charlie did” at the event.

That means primarily focusing on doing Q&A with the audience.

“I want to hear from these kids, I want to answer questions from them,” he said.

This is going to be awesome.

Imagine debating the Vice President of the United States as a college student!

I can’t wait to see it.

Erika Kirk will also be appearing alongside Vance, though this will be the only event of the TPUSA tour that she will be attending.

Fox News has more:

The event will also be the only Turning Point USA event that Erika Kirk will attend on the campus tour. Turning Point spokesperson Andrew Kolvet said that although they had planned for her to attend more, they decided against it to give her more time to grieve her husband’s death.

“I hope that she continues to kind of yes, keep Charlie’s mission alive, and yes, do everything you guys are doing at Turning Point USA, but I also hope that she continues to grieve a little bit and to carve out some time for her and her family,” Vance said.

Kolvet says they are expecting up to 10,000 people to attend.

October 29th is going to be an exciting day.
