In the wake of Charlie Kirk’s tragic assassination, Turning Point USA has seen an overwhelming surge in interest. Just 48 hours after the event, the organization reported receiving over 32,000 requests to start new chapters across the United States. This dramatic increase highlights the impact Kirk had on young conservatives and the movement he founded.
Charlie Kirk, a prominent conservative commentator and founder of Turning Point USA, was killed during a speaking event at Utah Valley University on September 10, 2025. He was shot in the neck, shocking supporters and sparking a nationwide conversation about his legacy and the future of his organization.
Andrew Kolvet, a producer for "The Charlie Kirk Show," shared the news of the chapter requests on social media. He expressed optimism about the future of Turning Point USA, stating that the organization currently has around 900 college chapters and about 1,200 high school chapters. With the new requests, the goal of establishing a chapter in every high school in America, which amounts to around 23,000, seems much closer to reality.
The cohosts of "Fox & Friends: Weekend" also commented on the situation. Kevin Corke emphasized that Kirk’s true legacy would be the young people who rise to carry on his mission. He noted that this surge in chapter requests could lead to a new generation of leaders inspired by Kirk’s vision.
As the country mourns the loss of Charlie Kirk, the response from Turning Point USA serves as a reminder of his influence. The organization is poised to grow rapidly, fueled by the passion and commitment of those who wish to honor his memory by continuing his work.
