JD Vance Rallies Turning Point: Big-Tent MAGA and Trump’s Border Wins

Speaking at Turning Point USA’s AmericaFest in Phoenix, Vice President JD Vance delivered a forceful closing keynote calling on conservatives to unite behind President Donald Trump’s America First agenda. Addressing thousands of grassroots activists, Vance argued that the movement must stay open to anyone who loves America, rejecting internal purity tests and focusing instead on results. He pointed to what he described as major victories in border enforcement, including months of zero releases at the southern border, negative net migration, falling rent prices, and increased employment for native-born Americans. Vance framed the message as both a defense of Trump’s record and a call for a broader, more confident conservative coalition moving forward—one rooted in patriotism, shared values, and tangible outcomes rather than internal division.
