Trump Leads High-Security Arizona Tribute to Charlie Kirk as MAGA Figures Converge

Overview

  • The memorial at State Farm Stadium in Glendale is scheduled to begin Sunday at 11 a.m. local time and is set to draw tens of thousands, with President Donald Trump, Vice President JD Vance, Senator Marco Rubio, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, Donald Trump Jr., and Tucker Carlson slated to speak.
  • Security is coordinated by the Secret Service with strict entry rules, and a man posing as law enforcement was detained at the site on Friday after suspicious behavior.
  • Erika Kirk will address the gathering and has been named to lead Turning Point USA, the youth organization her late husband founded.
  • Suspect Tyler Robinson, 22, is in custody and charged with murder; authorities say he told relatives he acted out of “hatred,” though investigators have not formally established a full motive.
  • The event carries broad political weight, with Trump calling Kirk a “martyr” and the White House signaling action against what it terms left‑wing domestic terrorism, as France’s Rassemblement National sends Louis Aliot and a Paris tribute drew about 250 attendees.
