Overview

• A Rasmussen Reports survey found 54% of liberal voters described Charlie Kirk’s murder as 'tragic but understandable' or not surprising, while most voters overall called his killing a tragedy during peaceful debate.
• Turning Point USA restarted its campus tour in Minnesota with Michael Knowles before a sold‑out crowd of nearly 2,000, marking the first campus event since the assassination.
• Erika Kirk publicly forgave the accused shooter and said she will continue her husband’s mission as TPUSA’s CEO, promising that debates and campus appearances will proceed.
• Utah prosecutors point to online messages in which suspect Tyler Robinson allegedly wrote that he acted because he had 'had enough' of Kirk’s 'hatred,' a claim that continues to fuel argument over political versus subcultural motives.
• Disciplinary battles grew as the 1776 Project PAC launched a tip line to identify educators who justified the killing and several school employees faced job consequences for celebratory posts.
