Overview
- Set for 5 p.m. CT at the Sandy and John Black Pavilion, the program features Erika Kirk introducing Vice President J.D. Vance before a student question-and-answer session in the late founder’s format.
- Admission is free with required advance registration and student-priority entry, with TSA-style screening and magnetometer checks implemented by organizers.
- Local reporting notes general admission sold out, and hundreds of students formed lines in the rain hours ahead of the event.
- Fox News planned live coverage from campus with the full program streaming on Fox Nation and a related documentary series debuting Nov. 7.
- MSNBC reports some White House officials and people close to Vance caution that trying to mirror Kirk’s style could do more harm than good as early 2028 speculation surrounds the vice president.
