A straw poll taken at Turning Point USA’s AmericaFest this weekend revealed that conservatives are, as a spokesman described, "all in" for Vice President JD Vance running for president in 2028. Asked who they would like to see as the Republican presidential nominee in 2028, the vast majority of respondents, 84.2%, answered Vice President JD Vance . Far behind Vance was Rubio at 4.8% and Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis at 2.9%. Andrew Kolvet, a spokesman for TPUSA, told Fox News Digital that the poll portrays a clear picture of the state of the conservative movement. From the responses, Kolvet said it is clear that "the movement is all-in for JD Vance in 2028, winning the most support in the history of our poll."

"We wanted to get a real read on where the base is at after Charlie’s assassination, and a few things really jump off the page," he said. The most popular Trump administration accomplishment amongst conference attendees was securing the border , with nearly 60% of respondents answering this, while 22.2% of respondents answered deportations. Conference attendees also shared that winning the midterms and radical Islam are among their top concerns. A wide margin believed that the conservative movement’s top priority in 2026 should be winning the midterms. Per the poll, 63.9% of AmFest attendees believed the conservative movement should be prioritizing winning the midterms, which would preserve Republicans’ majorities in the House and Senate.
