Vice President JD Vance appeared Wednesday night at the University of Mississippi for a Turning Point USA event honoring slain conservative activist Charlie Kirk.

The visit marks the first stop on the “This Is the Turning Point” campus tour, led by Kirk’s widow, Erika Kirk, who will introduce Vance before a student Q&A session modeled after her husband’s signature style.

Kirk said that she sees "some similarities" between her late husband and Vance as she introduced the vice president onto the stage.

"That's why I'm so blessed to be able to introduce him tonight. Because he understands the fight that we're up against, and he can articulate that in a way," she added. "He's an amazing man."
