Erika Kirk

Erika Kirk is the widow of conservative activist and Turning Point USA founder, Charlie Kirk, who was recently shot and killed. She is now taking a more prominent role in the organization and public discourse. She recently endorsed JD Vance for president in 2028, signaling Turning Point USA's future political direction. Kirk also participated in a town hall event moderated by Bari Weiss of CBS News, focusing on grief, faith, and politics. Furthermore, she has publicly called for politicians to de-escalate their rhetoric and avoid an "attack mode" approach, particularly in light of the current climate of political violence. Her increased visibility and involvement in political endorsements and discussions make her a relevant figure in conservative circles.
