Trump, Turning Point USA Honor Charlie Kirk on Anniversary of His Death

Trump and Turning Point USA honored the conservative activist as his murder case moves toward trial and the organization says it now has more than 800 chapters.

  • On Thursday, the first anniversary of the death of Turning Point USA Founder Charlie Kirk, a public memorial is scheduled at Utah Valley University in Orem, where Kirk was killed.
  • Kirk was fatally shot on September 10, 2025, while speaking in Orem; Defendant Tyler Robinson faces a potential death sentence after Fourth District Court Judge Tony Graf ruled earlier this month that prosecutors possess "overwhelming" evidence.
  • The White House released a commemorative video Thursday honoring Kirk, while Trump honored him during a Wednesday address, acknowledging his wife, Erika Kirk, seated beside Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent.
  • Reuters reported that Turning Point USA has grown dramatically since Kirk's assassination, expanding its presence at colleges and high schools while cementing itself as a force in Republican politics.
  • Campus tours, a major part of Kirk's mission, have resumed nationwide, as the organization continues targeting younger people on college campuses to expand its reach.
