Vice President JD Vance and Erika Kirk headlined a Turning Point USA event at Ole Miss tonight. And, the turnout was absolutely incredible! Over 14,000 students attended the event, which is around half of the entire campus’ population. And, get this, the turnout was really double those numbers! According to TPUSA spokesman Andrew Kolvet, 13,000 adults showed up but had to be turned away because there just wasn’t any room left for them. Check it out: Over HALF of the student body (14,000 of 27,000 students) registered for tonight’s event (along with 13,000 adults we couldn’t fit). And these students are fired up for Erika Kirk and Vice President JD Vance.

He gave a very presidential response to a question about immigration: Q: Why are you pushing out policies that hurt immigrants?! JD VANCE: …There’s too many people who want to come in. My job as vice president is NOT to look out for the interests of the whole world. It’s to look out for the people of the United States.

It’s not what the founders wanted…and anybody who tells you it’s required by the Constitution is lying to you.” pic.twitter.com/e74QU6sJgc — Vice President JD Vance (@VP) October 30, 2025 Vice President Vance on America’s foundation as a Christian nation: “Anybody who’s telling you their view is neutral likely has an agenda to sell you. I’m at least honest about the fact that I think the Christian foundation of this country is a good thing.” pic.twitter.com/TeSgTDi2gI — Vice President JD Vance (@VP) October 30, 2025 VP Vance also gave the perfect response to a student who asked about his interfaith marriage to Usha.
