Turning Point USA Resumes Nationwide Campus Tour After Founder Charlie Kirk's Assassination

Turning Point USA has resumed its college campus tour following the assassination of its founder, Charlie Kirk, at Utah Valley University. The organization, now led by Erika Kirk, Charlie's widow and newly appointed CEO, is committed to continuing its mission of promoting conservative ideals and expanding its chapters. The tour's relaunch began at the University of Minnesota, hosted by Michael Knowles, with planned stops including major universities like Virginia Tech, Louisiana State University, Montana State University, and the University of California, Berkeley. High-profile conservative figures such as Tucker Carlson, Megyn Kelly, Glenn Youngkin, and several Republican governors and senators are scheduled to speak at various events. Charlie Kirk's memorial drew a massive crowd, reflecting his significant influence, and the organization vows to honor his legacy through ongoing campus engagement and debate. Additionally, legislative actions such as designating "Charlie Kirk Free Speech Day" and memorial plaza proposals highlight the impact of his death on conservative activism and public memorialization efforts.
