At a Turning Point USA event at the University of Mississippi, Vice President JD Vance called for sharply reducing legal immigration, criticizing President Joe Biden's policies and arguing the U.S. must prioritize cohesion and assimilation. He urged avoiding American deaths in unnecessary foreign conflicts, praised President Donald Trump's Middle East diplomacy and the strike on Iranian nuclear facilities, and defended Trump's use of executive power and National Guard deployments, citing Trump's arrest and later-dismissed charges after his reelection. Introduced by Erika Kirk, widow of slain founder Charlie Kirk, Vance faced student questions throughout.
