Turning Point USA Plans Campus Tour Resumption After Charlie Kirk Assassination

Following the assassination of Charlie Kirk, founder of the conservative group Turning Point USA, his widow Erika Kirk has taken leadership of the organization, vowing to continue his mission and maintain his presence through ongoing broadcasts, campus tours, and events. The organization has seen a nationwide surge in interest, with plans to expand chapters on college campuses, including a potential return to Virginia Commonwealth University (VCU), despite some student opposition. High-profile conservatives, including Tucker Carlson and Megyn Kelly, are stepping in to headline events and carry on Kirk's legacy. The group's recent college tour resumed in Utah, near the site of Kirk's assassination, signaling the organization's determination to move forward under Erika Kirk's leadership and with support from notable conservative figures and politicians like Gov. Glenn Youngkin. Turning Point USA is positioning itself to grow beyond its founder's influence while preserving his vision, described by insiders as a continuation of the path Kirk planned before his death. This momentum reflects a broader conservative mobilization inspired by Kirk's death and the desire to engage young voters across the country.
