Overview

  • Turning Point USA resumed its “American Comeback” tour, drawing thousands at Virginia Tech where Gov. Glenn Youngkin addressed attendees, and announced 11 dates that include new events in Virginia, Oklahoma, Alabama and California.
  • UC Berkeley confirmed a November 10 campus event, with Rob Schneider and Christian author Frank Turek slated as speakers.
  • TPUSA says chapter inquiries have surged to about 120,000 since the stadium memorial, and Erika Kirk, newly appointed CEO, vowed to continue her late husband’s mission.
  • Oklahoma State Superintendent Ryan Walters unveiled a plan to create TPUSA chapters in every high school and warned holdout districts of accreditation risks, a stance local officials have challenged.
  • Prosecutors have charged 22-year-old Tyler Robinson with aggravated murder in Charlie Kirk’s shooting and say they intend to seek the death penalty, as campaigns in both parties reference the killing in ads and fundraising.
