One year after Charlie Kirk’s assassination, Turning Point USA pushes forward without its founder
Turning Point USA says it has more than 1 million donors and 1,200 employees as campus chapters and high school clubs keep expanding.
- Tomorrow marks one year since Turning Point USA founder Charlie Kirk was shot dead on a Utah college campus on September 10, 2025.
- Despite the loss, Turning Point USA has expanded dramatically; CNN reports about 1,500 colleges now host chapters—a 64% increase—while the organization claims over one million donors and 1,200 employees.
- Internal friction persists, including the criminal case against Kirk's alleged killer and far-right figures led by former Turning Point employee Candace Owens spreading baseless conspiracy theories about his death, per CNN.
- Mentorship ties position JD Vance as Kirk's heir apparent; TPUSA has already endorsed Vance for president in 2028, though questions remain about the organization's midterm impact.
- In a September 4 Salt Lake City Tribune op-ed, author Tia Levings questioned the tradwife ethos championed by Kirk's widow, Erika Kirk, arguing the lifestyle manifests into isolation and abuse.
