JD Vance on why he owes his political career to Charlie Kirk

JD Vance has revealed that he owes his political career to Charlie Kirk, praising the deceased 31-year-old as an “incredibly important part of the team”. Hosting a special edition of The Charlie Kirk Show on Monday (15 September), the vice president said that aside from Donald Trump, the political activist was the “most important person in getting us [himself and Robert F. Kennedy Jr.] across the finish line”. He said: “ If it weren't for Charlie Kirk, I would not be the vice President of the United States.” Mr Vance praised Mr Kirk’s “grassroots army” for making him a “credible selection” for the role, something he says he feels "indebted to him” for. “I worry that he is just a fundamentally an irreplaceable figure,” he added.
