TPUSA Tour Draws Crowds as Chapter Requests Top 120,000 and Oklahoma Pushes Statewide Clubs

Prosecutors plan to seek the death penalty for the 22-year-old suspect in Kirk’s killing.

Overview

  • Turning Point USA resumed its campus tour at Virginia Tech with tight security, drawing nearly a full 3,000-seat hall as Gov. Glenn Youngkin and Megyn Kelly urged students to carry on Charlie Kirk’s work.
  • TPUSA says inquiries to start or join chapters have surpassed 120,000, with the group reporting a post-memorial surge that doubled requests since Sunday.
  • Oklahoma schools chief Ryan Walters announced a plan for a TPUSA club in every high school and warned noncompliant districts of possible accreditation consequences, a move local educators challenged as unenforceable.
  • Campaigns from both parties are referencing the assassination, with Republican ads tying the shooting to political rhetoric and Democrats denouncing political violence in fundraising messages.
  • Kirk’s producer reported flyers at Georgetown University that appear to celebrate the slaying, echoing phrases authorities said were etched on recovered bullet casings.
