Vice President JD Vance and Donald Trump Jr. are set to participate in events organized by Turning Point USA, a prominent conservative youth organization co-founded by the late Charlie Kirk. This information, initially reported by Axios, was later confirmed by a source close to both Vance and Trump Jr.
Charlie Kirk, a key ally and advisor to the vice president and Donald Trump, was tragically shot and killed earlier this month during an event at Utah Valley University. Vance and Trump Jr. have expressed a deep personal connection to Kirk and are committed to honoring his legacy by continuing their involvement with Turning Point USA.
Vance played a significant role in honoring Kirk, accompanying his widow, Erika, on Air Force Two to bring Kirk’s body from Utah back to their hometown of Phoenix, Arizona. Shortly after, Vance guest-hosted Kirk’s popular podcast, and both he and Trump Jr. spoke at Kirk's memorial service in Arizona.
According to a source, Vance and Trump Jr. are expected to make appearances at Turning Point USA events over the coming months, viewing the organization as a crucial part of Kirk’s political legacy. They aim to enhance its influence and reach in the political landscape.
Turning Point USA has played a vital role in mobilizing the youth vote for Trump and the Republican Party, particularly evident in the recent election cycle where they contributed to the GOP regaining the White House, control of the Senate, and maintaining a majority in the House. As the organization continues under Erika Kirk's leadership, Trump’s political team is focused on ensuring it remains well-funded and impactful as the midterm elections approach.
