Aw. Marco Rubio is such a GOOD LITTLE PUPPY DOG. GIVE HIM A SNAUSAGE! "If Vance runs for president..." [View all]

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 Vice President 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.

It is the latest move in a quiet effort by some in Trump’s orbit to clear the field of viable competitors. Earlier this month, Marco Rubio, the secretary of State previously floated by Trump as a possible contender, appeared to take himself out of the running.

"If Vance runs for president, he’s going to be our nominee, and I’ll be one of the first people to support him," Rubio told Vanity Fair.
