Turning Point USA Resumes Campus Events Following Charlie Kirk’s Assassination

Turning Point USA has announced its first university campus event since the assassination of founder Charlie Kirk at Utah Valley University on September 10. The gathering is set to take place at the University of Minnesota, with Daily Wire host Michael Knowles as the keynote speaker.

Knowles will deliver a tribute to Kirk during the event, which includes an empty chair on stage to honor him. The amended schedule, released Monday, marks the continuation of TPUSA’s campus tour originally led by Kirk. Upcoming events include a September 30 visit to Utah State University, featuring speakers such as Alex Clark, Senator Mike Lee (R-UT), Representative Andy Biggs (R-AZ), and former Representative Jason Chaffetz (R-UT). Additional dates will feature Vivek Ramaswamy, Governor Glenn Youngkin (R-VA), Megyn Kelly, and other figures.

Knowles confirmed his participation in an appearance on “Fox & Friends First,” stating the event will focus on an open conversation after his tribute to Kirk. No further details about the agenda were provided.
