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

  • On Thursday, Republicans memorialized Charlie Kirk at their first-ever midterm convention, exactly one year after the Turning Point USA co-founder was fatally shot at Utah Valley University in Orem, Utah.
  • Despite the loss, Turning Point USA has expanded dramatically over the past year, with high school chapters surging 180% and college chapters growing more than 60%, according to spokesperson Andrew Kolvet.
  • Recent polling indicates a downward swing in support among young men, with only 32% of those aged 18 to 29 approving of President Donald Trump's performance, down from 43% in February 2025.
  • Frustration among young voters has deepened over the past year due to persistent cost-of-living pressures, the Iran war, and records linked to convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.
  • Conservative commentator Jack Posobiec noted a disconnect in Republican messaging, as younger conservatives increasingly criticize U.S. foreign policy toward Iran and Israel ahead of the midterms.
