When Charlie Kirk was killed by an assassin this fall, Republican leaders credited the organization he founded for enabling President Trump’s return to power.

Now that organization is mobilizing behind JD Vance.

Uninterested in a competitive Republican primary in 2028, Turning Point USA plans to deploy representatives across Iowa’s 99 counties in the coming months to build the campaign infrastructure it believes could deliver Vance, a Midwesterner from nearby Ohio, a decisive victory, potentially short-circuiting a fractious GOP race, insiders said.

    I love how that headline just casually throws around third term runs as if they are normal, legal, and expected for our elected officials to endorse.

      The owner is a pro-trump multi-billionaire…

      In January 2017, as announced by press secretary Sean Spicer, then President-elect Donald Trump met with Soon-Shiong at Trump’s Bedminster, New Jersey, estate to discuss national medical priorities.[26] According to Politico, Soon-Shiong was seeking a cabinet position.[27] In May 2017, Soon-Shiong was appointed by House Speaker Paul Ryan to the Health Information Technology Advisory Committee, a committee established by the 21st Century Cures Act.[28]

      The crazy part is people just immediately forget this shit and expect media to just magically go back to being i.partial on their own.

      Biden didn’t try to fix a lot of shit, so even tho trump was out of office for four years, shit didn’t get better. It just stopped declining as fast for a little while
