埃丽卡·柯德向因共和党选举失利而情绪低落的保守派传递了一条信息，她借用了已故丈夫查理的话语来表达这番表态。
“我每天都无比思念查理，但尤其是在今天这样的日子里。”她写道。
“他总说，形势顺利时要保持谦逊；而当事情不如人意时，要保持积极，坚守信仰，重新投入工作。”

“转折点美国”首席执行官兼创始人查理·柯德的遗孀表示，她的丈夫建立了一个既能经受胜利也能承受失败的政治运作体系。
“查理对‘转折点行动’的愿景始终超越单场选举，”她写道，“他想要建立一个永久性的全年运作机构，拥有能够在每个选举周期中参与竞争的人员、关系和资源。”

“他清楚会有胜利也会有挫折，因为他两者都经历过，这也是他为应对两者而建立体系的原因。”
柯德还向在选举周期中付出努力的员工、学生、志愿者和选票追踪人员表达了感谢。

“我知道查理一定会为你们每一个人感到无比骄傲，而我也一样。”她写道。
埃丽卡·柯德在X平台（原推特）发布的一篇长帖中表示，共和党原本稳操胜券的多个席位出现了优势缩小甚至失守的情况，而她所说的“民主社会主义者”候选人正在围绕汽油、食品杂货和住房成本展开竞选。

“股市上涨并没有多大意义，因为近一半美国人没有401(k)退休账户，他们只想给卡车加满油、填饱肚子，为家人创造美好生活。”她写道。
埃丽卡·柯德在发出警告的同时为自由企业辩护，认为保守派必须理解选民为何会转向其他选择，同时不接受对手提出的政策。

“保守派眼下可能犯的最大错误，就是让这一刻沦为又一场指责、内斗或谋求自我政治保全的闹剧。”她写道。
“这并不能解决美国人民要求解决的问题。”
埃丽卡·柯德表示，出口民调显示选民关注的重点是经济和伊朗战争。

她表示，这些担忧与“转折点美国”数月来从全国各地学生那里听到的情况一致。

埃丽卡·柯德否定了社会主义是答案的说法，认为社会主义将经济权力置于政府手中，而非让个人和家庭去创造财富。
她表示，这种理念与美国核心的自由企业、个人自由和机遇相悖。
但她同时警告，美国人不会仅凭惯性就一直支持某个政党。
“美国人不再追求标签，也不盲从政党忠诚，”她写道，“他们会支持那些既能回应自身关切，又能为其家庭所需和梦想付诸行动的候选人。”

她指出，可负担的住房、安全的社区以及为下一代提供更多机遇，是选民希望得到兑现的承诺。
埃丽卡·柯德表示，该组织将研究选举结果、倾听选民意见，并在未来两年内全力论证保守派政策和自由市场能够解决美国人面临的问题。

“我们的原则没有改变，我们的使命也没有变，”她写道，“前进。”

Erika Kirk had a message for conservatives reeling from Republican election setbacks, and she turned to her late husband Charlie’s words to deliver it.
“I miss Charlie so much every single day, but especially on a day like today,” she wrote.
“He always said that when things are going well, we need to stay humble. And when things aren’t going the way we want, we need to stay positive, keep our faith, and get back to work.”

The widow of Turning Point USA CEO and founder Charlie Kirk said her husband had built a political operation meant to endure both victories and defeats.
“Charlie’s vision for Turning Point Action was always bigger than one election,” she wrote. “He wanted a permanent, year-round operation with the people, relationships, and resources to compete in every cycle.

“He knew there would be victories and setbacks because he had experienced both and that’s why he built for both.”
Kirk also thanked the staff, students, volunteers and ballot chasers who worked during the election cycle.

“I know Charlie would be unbelievably proud of each and every one of you, and I am, too,” she wrote.
In a lengthy post on X, Erika Kirk said Republicans saw once comfortable races tighten or flip as candidates she described as democratic socialists campaigned on the cost of gas, groceries and housing.

“A rising stock market doesn’t mean much when nearly half of Americans don’t have a 401K and just want to put gas in their trucks, put food on the table, and provide a good life for their families,” she wrote.
Erika Kirk paired her warning with a defense of free enterprise, arguing conservatives must understand why voters looked elsewhere without embracing the policies their opponents offered.

“We can disagree with the solutions voters were offered while still recognizing why they were looking elsewhere for answers,” she wrote.

“The biggest mistake conservatives can make right now would be to allow this moment to become another exercise in finger-pointing, in-fighting, or trying to secure their own political preservation,” she wrote.
“That does not solve the problems the American people are demanding be solved.”
Erika Kirk said exit polls showed voters were concerned about the economy and the war in Iran.

“This isn’t a surprise to us because we’ve heard the same concerns from our students around the country for months and we’ve been concerned about it too,” she wrote.

Erika Kirk rejected socialism as an answer, arguing it places economic power in government hands rather than allowing individuals and families to build prosperity.
She said that approach conflicts with the free enterprise, individual liberty and opportunity at the heart of the country.
But she also warned that Americans will not simply stick with a party out of habit.
“Americans are not looking for labels and don’t subscribe to unquestioned party loyalty anymore either,” she wrote. “They will support the candidates who can both speak to their concerns and deliver on what THEY need and dream about for their families.”

She identified affordable homes, safe communities and greater opportunity for the next generation as the promises voters want fulfilled.
Erika Kirk said the organization would study the results, listen to voters and spend the next two years making the case that conservative policies and free markets can address the problems Americans face.

“Onward.”
