Overview

• State Farm Stadium in the Phoenix area hosted a heavily secured memorial with President Donald Trump, Vice President JD Vance and senior officials in attendance, and police arrested an armed man for suspicious behavior as local and federal agencies coordinated security.
• Turning Point set strict entry rules with a red-white-blue dress code and no bags, and Erika Kirk was slated to introduce the president at a ceremony expected to draw tens of thousands.
• At Pontida, the Lega’s mass rally was dedicated in part to Charlie Kirk with banners and shirts, Matteo Salvini reasserted the party’s independence, and international guests included Vox’s Santiago Abascal, RN’s Jordan Bardella and Flávio Bolsonaro.
• Salvini outlined priorities including opposing sending Italians to fight in Ukraine and tightening border controls, while Giorgia Meloni told FdI youth in Rome that threats would not deter the right and condemned an offensive post about Kirk.
• Lega deputy leader Roberto Vannacci called for teaching the Pontida oath and Decima Mas in schools as intra-party positioning intensified, and U.S. authorities said the federal probe of Tyler Robinson remains active without evidence tying him to left-wing groups so far.
