JD Vance Declares America First Movement Open to All Who Love This Country

Vice President JD Vance brought AmericaFest 2025 to a powerful close this weekend with a rousing speech that reaffirmed the mission and momentum of the America First movement a movement he said doesn’t require ideological “purity tests,” just a genuine love for country and a willingness to fight for it.

Speaking in Phoenix, Arizona, Vance addressed a packed crowd still reeling from the tragic assassination of Turning Point USA founder Charlie Kirk, whose wife Erika Kirk now leads the conservative youth powerhouse. She had just shared the stage with an unlikely guest Nicki Minaj, who made a surprise appearance to signal her support for free speech and American values.

But it was Vance’s message that sealed the night: unity without uniformity, action over ideology, and a vision for victory that includes every patriot.

“President Trump did not build the greatest coalition in politics by running his supporters through endless, self-defeating purity tests,” Vance said. “We don’t care if you’re White or Black, rich or poor, rural or urban, controversial or a little bit boring… if you love America, you have a home on this team.”

Here are the key takeaways from Vance’s AmericaFest address:

• 2025 is the first year in over half a century with negative net migration. Millions of illegal aliens have either left or been deported under the Trump-Vance administration.

• Gas, rent, and unemployment are down, thanks to restored border security and economic sanity.

• DEI (Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion) programs have been dismantled across federal agencies. “We don’t treat anybody differently because of their race or sex. DEI belongs in the dustbin of history,” Vance said.

• Vance pledged that left-wing violence won’t go unanswered “We’re going to arrest the Antifa thugs who throw the bricks and we’re going to prosecute the people who bought the bricks too.”

Throughout his remarks, Vance pushed back on the media’s attempt to divide the conservative movement, especially over disagreements on issues like Ukraine aid or foreign policy in the Middle East. He made clear that disagreement isn’t a weakness it’s a sign of life.

“Wouldn’t you rather lead a movement of freethinkers who sometimes disagree than a bunch of drones who take their orders from George Soros?”

It was a stark contrast to the left’s top-down authoritarianism, where dissent is punished, facts are censored, and every citizen is expected to march in lockstep behind a globalist narrative.

Vance emphasized that this moment isn’t about internal fights it’s about fulfilling the mission Charlie Kirk lived and died for.

“We have far more important work to do than canceling each other. President Trump is a builder. We build by adding, by growing not by tearing down.”

He ended with a promise one rooted in action, not empty rhetoric “Only God can promise you salvation and heaven. But together we can fulfill the promise of the greatest nation in the history of the earth.”

As the Trump administration surges into 2026 with a renewed mandate and a reinvigorated base, it’s clear the America First movement is evolving not by diluting its values, but by welcoming every critical thinker who refuses to surrender their freedom.
