副总统JD万斯结束了转折点美国美国大会的最后一天周日，围绕基督教和“美国第一”运动的主题团结保守派。
在本周早些时候的会议上，查理·柯克的遗孀、现美国转折点公司首席执行官艾丽卡·柯克，赞同万斯在2028年竞选总统——尽管万斯周日没有直接回应支持，但他感谢艾丽卡·柯克的支持。
万斯说:“我必须以一句感激的话开始，艾丽卡，我对你的力量、你的风度以及你对本届政府和我个人的支持之词感激不尽。”。
年度大会于周四开始，标志着该组织的创始人、已故保守派活动人士查理·柯克(Charlie Kirk)首次缺席，他于9月被暗杀。
"...但我只想说，纪念查理的最好方式是，我们在座的任何人都不应该在查理死后做他生前拒绝做的事情。他邀请我们所有人来这里，”万斯说。
“查理邀请我们所有人来这里是有原因的，因为他相信我们每个人，我们所有人，都有值得说的话，”万斯补充说。
在他的讲话中，万斯多次提到查理·柯克:“如果你想念查理·柯克，你能保证为他为之而死的东西而战吗?...你能保证帮助击败那些为他的死欢呼的激进分子吗?”
万斯提到“更多的起诉”，表示他和唐纳德·特朗普总统有“一份更好的法官和检察官名单，可以更快地实施司法。”
万斯说:“在我们共同建设的美国第一运动中，伟大等待着你们每一个人，但我们需要你们的帮助才能实现这一目标。”。
“你想要更多的起诉吗?太好了，我们也是。唐纳德·特朗普和我有一份更好的法官和检察官名单，可以更快地实施司法，所以加入我们，反对愚蠢的参议院规则...挡住他们的路，”他补充道。
他经常攻击民主党人，包括加利福尼亚州州长加文·纽瑟姆和众议员伊尔汉·奥马尔，称他们为“傀儡”，并指责他们想让美国人“贫穷”、“不那么强大”和“不那么安全”
在竞选风格的结束语中，万斯向致力于查理·柯克使命的转折点成员承诺“胜利”和“关闭边界和安全社区”。
他说:“只有上帝能承诺你在天堂得到救赎，但我们团结一致，就能实现这个地球上历史上最伟大国家的承诺。”
周日，众议院议长迈克·约翰逊、白宫边境事务负责人汤姆·霍曼(Tom Homan)和小唐纳德·特朗普(Donald Trump Jr .)也是其他著名的发言者，他们也赞扬了已故的查理·柯克(Charlie Kirk)，并将保守派聚集在一起。
在小特朗普的演讲中，唐纳德·特朗普总统也通过电话发表了简短的讲话，创作型歌手兼说唱歌手妮琪·米娜与艾丽卡·柯克一起出现在舞台上。
Vice President JD Vance rallies conservatives, honors Charlie Kirk at Turning Point USA convention
Vice President JD Vance closed out the final day of Turning Point USA's AmericaFest conventionon Sunday, rallying conservatives around themes of Christianity and the “America First” movement.
During the conference earlier this week, Charlie Kirk’s widow and now-CEO of Turning Point USA, Erika Kirk,endorsedVance for president in 2028 -- though Vance did not directly respond to the endorsement on Sunday, he thanked Erica Kirk for her support.
“I have to start off with a note of gratitude, Erika, I cannot thank you enough for your strength, your grace and your kind words of support for this administration and for me personally,” Vance said.
The annual convention commenced on Thursday, marking the first year without the organization’s founder, late conservative activist Charlie Kirk, who was assassinated in September.
“... But let me just say the best way to honor Charlie is that none of us here should be doing something after Charlie's death that he himself refused to do in life. He invited all of us here," Vance said.
"Charlie invited all of us here for a reason, because he believed that each of us, all of us, had something worth saying,” Vance added.
Throughout his remarks, Vance spoke about Charlie Kirk multiple times: “If you miss Charlie Kirk, do you promise to fight what he died for?... Do you promise to help defeat the radicals who cheered his death?”
Vance alluded to “more prosecutions,” offering that he and President Donald Trump have “a list of better judges and prosecutors to enact swifter justice.”
"Greatness awaits every single one of you in the America First movement we are building together, but we need your help to get there," Vance said.
"Do you want more prosecutions? Great, so do we. Donald Trump and I have a list of better judges and prosecutors to enact swifter justice, so join us in the fight against the stupid Senate rules ... stand in their way," he added.
He frequently attacked Democrats, including California Gov. Gavin Newsom and Rep. Ilhan Omar, calling them “puppets” and accusing them of wanting to make Americans “poor," "less powerful" and "less safe."
In a campaign-style closing remark, Vance promised “victory” and “closed borders and safe communities” to Turning Point members committed to Charlie Kirk’s mission.
“Only God can promise you salvation in heaven, but together, we can fulfill the promise of the greatest nation in the history of the Earth,” he said.
Speaker of the House Mike Johnson, White House Border Czar Tom Homan and Donald Trump Jr. were among the other notable speakers on Sunday, also praising the late Charlie Kirk and rallying the conservative crowd together.
President Donald Trump also gave brief remarks via phone call during Trump Jr.'s, speech and singer-songwriter and rapper Nicki Minaj appeared on stage alongside Erika Kirk.
