What to Know
If The Handmaid’s Tale was real life, according to some, Erika Kirk might be Serena Joy and JD Vance might be the next high commander of Gilead. Luckily, The United States is, more or less, still the U.S. and not Gilead. I mean, not really, anyway. Still, it hasn’t stopped people from speculating on the future of politics and how Charlie Kirk’s widow might fit into it all.
According to one user on TikTok, she could fit into politics by marrying Vance before he becomes the next president after Donald Trump. It’s all speculation, built on observations from the American people, of course. And sure, there are some conspiracies thrown in there for good measure. But, according to the user on TikTok, there have already been signs that Vance will leave his wife Usha Vance for Erika.
Apparently, it’s only a matter of time before the wheels are put in motion for JD Vance and Erika Kirk.
According to him in his TikTok, Vance has shown clues, even if not intentionally, that he might leave his wife before the 2028 primaries if he plans to run for president. He says in his video that Vance and Erika could be the picture of Republican Christianity that Vance might want to portray in the U.S. I mean, we all remember that hug at Erika’s husband’s memorial, right?
“I think that before the 2028 Republican primaries starts up, probably long before that, JD Vance and his wife Usha are going to get divorced and then JD Vance and Erika Kirk are gonna get married,” the user says on TikTok. “Because obviously Erika Kirk is a grifter extraordinaire. She wants to be near power. She loves the attention. And JD Vance desperately wants to be president, and he is running in a party where being married to a brown person of any kind is not gonna help ya. Much better to be married to the widow of the sainted Charlie Kirk. “

He also points out stories in the news of Vance’s wife Usha being seen out without her wedding ring.
This is encroaching a tad bit on the conspiracy theory territory, but I’ll allow it. After he shared his thoughts, other users left comments to agree with what they also see playing out in the future in regards to Erika, Usha, and Vance.
“I’m betting JD tries for an annulment based on Usha’s religion,” someone commented on the TikTok. “Maybe he can get a MAGA bishop to do it.”
Another wrote, “This is how JD Vance gains popularity with MAGA. He’s setting himself up with backing for when DT [Donald Trump] kicks the bucket.”
Someone else referenced Erika’s comments at her husband’s memorial. “When she said as she was introducing JD Vance, ‘no one can replace my husband.’ Why even say that if you are just introducing someone?” They commented.
The TikTok user also says that Vance has spoken about religion being something of an issue in his marriage with Usha. Vance did say in November 2025 that he would like his wife to convert to Christianity. And, given that Erika does often talk about Vance publicly, it’s hard not to see some of the pieces fall into place. It’s all just speculation, though, as Americans continue to watch the reality show that is U.S. politics.
