Overview

• White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt said the president "wouldn't oppose" legislation to establish a holiday honoring Charlie Kirk.
• The Senate and House approved resolutions designating Oct. 14 a National Day of Remembrance, a symbolic tribute tied to what would have been his 32nd birthday.
• Those measures do not create a federal holiday or a paid day off for government workers.
• Establishing a holiday would require passage of a bill by both chambers and the president's signature, and no such legislation has been introduced.
• The position contrasts with Trump's Juneteenth message in June complaining that there are "too many non-working holidays" costing the country billions.
