US EditionTurning Point youth conference begins in Phoenix without founder Charlie Kirk
More than 30,000 attendees are expected at Turning Point USA's first AmericaFest since Charlie Kirk's death, featuring 60+ MAGA speakers and Erika Kirk as new CEO.
- Turning Point USA opens its flagship conference in Phoenix Thursday, its first major gathering since Charlie Kirk's death, with thousands expected at the four-day meeting.
- Allies say his death accelerated jockeying for influence within the movement, as Kirk served as a unifying figure marshaling college students, influencers and Republican politicians.
- Turning Point USA blends high-production spectacle with political sessions and Christian rock bands, featuring MAGA figures like Donald Trump Jr., Tucker Carlson, Megyn Kelly, Jesse Watters, Steve Bannon, Ben Shapiro and Jack Posobiec.
- Erika Kirk has stepped into a public leadership role at Turning Point, forgiving her husband’s alleged killer at the funeral and telling critics `Stop.` about Candace Owens’ conspiracy claims.
- Last week’s court appearance for Tyler Robinson, the accused shooter, came as the movement faces disputes over antisemitism and support for Israel and Gaza, affecting Republican Party dynamics ahead of midterm elections.
