Overview
- Turning Point USA drew roughly 2,500 people to a Virginia Tech stop on its resumed campus tour, with Gov. Glenn Youngkin addressing attendees and Megyn Kelly hosting the event.
- Oklahoma State Superintendent Ryan Walters announced plans to place a Turning Point chapter in every state high school and warned of accreditation repercussions for districts that refuse, a move some local officials say he cannot mandate.
- TPUSA says chapter inquiries doubled to more than 120,000 after Sunday’s Arizona memorial for Charlie Kirk, up from about 60,000 earlier that day, following years with roughly 900 college and 1,200 high school chapters.
- Campaigns from both parties are invoking Kirk’s killing in ads and fundraising, including GOP spots tying the shooting to ideological violence and a Democratic appeal condemning political violence without endorsing his ideas.
- Investigators have charged 22-year-old Tyler Robinson and intend to seek the death penalty; Kirk’s producer also reported flyers at Georgetown echoing phrases authorities said were etched on recovered casings.
