Charlie Kirk’s Organization Grapples with Its Direction One Year After His Death: ‘There Is a Void’
The group says it has more than 1,200 employees and 1 million donors as it builds a larger political operation for the 2026 and 2028 races.
- On Thursday, President Trump will honor Turning Point USA founder Charlie Kirk at a midterm convention in Dallas, marking one year since Kirk was fatally shot on a Utah college campus.
- Leaders privately acknowledge replacing Kirk—who built the organization into a sprawling political network—is impossible; Republican National Committee Chairman Joe Gruters noted that "no one will be able to do what he did."
- With campus chapters increasing 64% over the past year, Turning Point now reports over 1 million donors and more than 1,200 employees, with the group recently completing training for 150 new staffers.
- To support Vice President JD Vance, Turning Point Action is focusing on 2026 midterm victories, with COO Tyler Bowyer stating they plan to "throw the kitchen sink at this thing."
- Former New Hampshire party chairman Ager said the group could provide a "significant organizational advantage out of the gate" for Vance in 2028, though Bowyer expects the vice president to watch 2026 results closely before finalizing plans.
