Turning Point Taps Kirk Widow As Next Leader

PHOENIX (AP) — Turning Point USA, the organization Charlie Kirk founded to mobilize young conservatives, has seen a massive surge in interest and support since the activist’s assassination last week. As conservatives mourn Kirk’s death, the group announced that Kirk’s wife Erika will serve as its next CEO. More than just its leader, Charlie Kirk was Turning Point’s public face and crucial to its influence, building it into a multimillion-dollar operation that has been credited with helping to return President Donald Trump to office. But Turning Point appears poised to remain a MAGA juggernaut. Erika Kirk has a following in her own right.
