Charlie Kirk is a big fan of J.D. Vance and has posted positive videos about him for at least a year. He gave his name to a convention running a straw poll hosted by Turning Point Action. Vance won the poll against three other candidates, and under 2,000 people voted.
I don’t know if the poll only included these three candidates listed in the X post below.
In any case, straw polls are worthless, but this one is getting some traction online. It’s intended to influence.
If you’re interested, Politico has a list of possible candidates and how they can hurt Donald Trump. It’s on this link.
There are a lot of other candidates: former Arizona gubernatorial candidate Kari Lake, Florida Rep. Byron Donalds, New York Rep. Elise Stefanik, Arkansas Sen. Tom Cotton, and former Housing and Urban Development Secretary Ben Carson. Also mentioned at times is former New York Congressman Lee Zeldin and Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis. However, constitutionally, he allegedly can’t pick from anyone in Florida. Some mentioned Mitt Romney, which would be absurd. Ted Cruz was also mentioned.

Vance is a joo shill. Not America First.
Vance would be a great VP; however, I feel Stefanik would be better. She is intelligent, articulate, quick thinking, has Congressional experience, has been an avid Trump supporter and is a bulldog during hearings and interviews. Also, being a woman would help get the women’s vote. I would love to see Stefanik and Harris in a VP debate.
I really want someone outside of Washington right now. Let us keep the seats we got with the people who get elected republican. If we could trust them, we would let them. No republican in DC has shown the will except every now and then. The ones you can trust are on the floor everyday countering the dem narrative of… Read more »
Past rabid anti Trumper, no thanks.
i dont want anything that remotely looks like Judas Pence.
Vance was a Never Trumper and is a trojan horse. While Kari Lake, Byron Donalds, Elise Stefanik are good people they are no way qualified to take over if something were to happen to Trump.
Never Vance
This neocon/RINO Kirk has a big head and is again trying to interfere.He has again blurred the lines, his org has no say so in this.
I see Kirk as an evangelist neocon. I do not see him as a conservative other than on moral issues.
He gets the boots on the ground. He is trying anyway.
