Turning Point USA Activists Mobilize Midterm Voters Following Charlie Kirk Death

Young activists in Phoenix are rallying the youth vote ahead of the United States midterm elections, France 24 reported. The effort comes more than a year after far-right influencer Charlie Kirk was assassinated in September 2025. Members of Turning Point USA are working to continue his political legacy through campus and youth outreach. [1]

Meanwhile, defense lawyers for Tyler Robinson, the man accused of killing Kirk, are asking a judge in Utah to ban cameras from an upcoming court hearing, according to Fox News. The hearing could set a trial date for the case. The defense team argued that public focus on the financial costs of the legal defense, combined with ongoing media coverage of the murder, could jeopardize the right of the defendant to a fair trial.

Kirk co-founded Turning Point USA alongside Bill Montgomery in 2012 and served as its executive director until his death. The nonprofit organization advocates for conservative politics across high school and college campuses. Kirk hosted a daily syndicated radio program and podcast, authored books including The MAGA Doctrine, and was a prominent ally of Donald Trump who helped organize young voters. [5][6][7]

Activists from Turning Point USA continue their efforts to organize conservative voters, while the Utah court considers whether to restrict broadcast access to the legal proceedings surrounding the assassination. [1][2]
