Scott Jennings: Erika Kirk Endorsed JD Vance Because “It’s What Her Husband Wanted”
CNN’s Scott Jennings explains why Erika Kirk will endorse Vice President J.D. Vance for president in 2028.
SCOTT JENNINGS, CNN: I can illuminate the table. Charlie Kirk and J.D. Vance were extremely close friends. Charlie Kirk supported J.D. Vance. He helped J.D. Vance get elected to the Senate. He wanted J.D. Vance to be the next president. And so the reason [Erika] has endorsed J.D. Vance is because it’s what her husband wanted and was going to do anyway. And she’s carrying on his legacy in that regard. There’s a 99.9% chance J.D. Vance is going to be the Republican nominee. And he’ll have her support, but he’s going to have the support of a lot of other Republicans out there, as well. So I think this has everything to do with Charlie’s wishes, Charlie’s legacy, and Charlie’s friendship with the vice president.
