Vice President JD Vance urged Republican unity against Democrats on the final day of Turning Point USA's AmericaFest in Phoenix on December 21, 2025, shifting focus from weekend infighting to midterm preparations. The event, drawing 30,000 amid the group's first major gathering since Charlie Kirk's September killing, featured speeches from Tulsi Gabbard, Mike Johnson, and surprise guest Nicki Minaj.
A screenshot from Tammy Rivera's Instagram Story appears to label Nicki Minaj a 'bootlicker' amid her praise for political figures, while an old clip of Charlie Kirk resurfaces criticizing the rapper as a poor role model. Rivera has previously voiced concerns over Minaj's ties to MAGA and Turning Point USA. The drama unfolds as Minaj continues her apparent shift toward conservative circles.
