His killing Wednesday as he addressed a crowd on a college campus has left those he brought into politics grieving \u2014 and vowing to continue his mission.<\/p>\n<p>Nearly every young conservative staffer in Washington was involved with Kirk\u2019s enormous youth organizing group Turning Point USA, whether through a college campus chapter or its national and regional conventions. That created a pipeline of young conservatives, who are now looking to cement his legacy in next year&#8217;s midterms and beyond.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI was passionate before and this movement was important, but now it\u2019s personal,\u201d said 19-year-old commentator Brilyn Hollyhand, who met Kirk when, at 11 years old, he asked Kirk to appear on his podcast. \u201cWe have a martyr.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.politico.com\/news\/magazine\/2024\/10\/23\/flagstock-maga-feminism-north-carolina-00184939\" target=\"_blank\">Young men have become<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.politico.com\/live-updates\/2024\/10\/23\/2024-elections-live-coverage-updates-analysis\/genforward-poll-black-latino-voters-00185161\" target=\"_blank\">key to the coalition<\/a> that elected President Donald Trump to his second term, a trend that many in the movement credit to Kirk.<\/p>\n<p>Kirk was divisive \u2014 beloved by a generation that is shifting rightward; castigated for <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mediaite.com\/media\/news\/charlie-kirk-blames-birth-control-for-creating-very-angry-and-bitter-young-ladies-while-weighing-in-on-womens-prime\/\" target=\"_blank\">controversial<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/charliekirk11\/status\/1965281328108343507\" target=\"_blank\">antagonistic<\/a> remarks that critics deemed hate speech.<\/p>\n<p>But that divisiveness helped him gain national attention and turn out young voters for Trump, particularly <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2024\/12\/23\/us\/politics\/trump-turning-point-arizona-2024-election.html\" target=\"_blank\">Republicans in Arizona<\/a>, which flipped to Trump in 2024. In 2020, Trump lost young men by 11 points, according to <a href=\"https:\/\/catalist.us\/whathappened2024\/\" target=\"_blank\">Catalist data<\/a>. In 2024, he won them by 1 point. And his vote share among young women improved too \u2014 from a 35-point deficit in 2020 to a 23-point gap four years later.<\/p>\n<p>Kirk\u2019s killing this week \u201chas awakened an army of believers,\u201d said 25-year-old activist Isabella DeLuca, who <a href=\"https:\/\/apnews.com\/article\/isabella-deluca-influencer-arrested-capitol-riot-81c81ad10e4e407ec4827376133849a8\" target=\"_blank\">was arrested in 2024<\/a> for her role in the Jan. 6, 2021, riot at the U.S. Capitol and pardoned by Trump in January.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe are at war for the soul of this nation. I will not retreat. I will advance,\u201d DeLuca said. \u201cCharlie\u2019s voice did not die with him. It will live through us.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Hollyhand, who has worked closely with Turning Point, said he hopes to return to Utah and continue the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.americancomebacktour.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">\u201cAmerican Comeback\u201d tour<\/a>, which kicked off the day Kirk was shot. On Friday, Republican Utah Gov. Spencer Cox <a href=\"https:\/\/www.politico.com\/news\/2025\/09\/12\/trump-announces-that-he-believes-kirk-shooting-suspect-is-in-custody-00560023\" target=\"_blank\">announced that law enforcement had apprehended<\/a> a suspect in the shooting, 22-year-old Utah resident Tyler Robinson, who a judge ordered to be held without the option of bail. Formal charges against Robinson are expected to be announced next week.<\/p>\n<p>The rightward shift among young people is largely credited to Kirk\u2019s megaphone, as well as his grassroots political organization, which he founded at 18. It quickly grew to more than 800 chapters on college campuses, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.liberty.edu\/news\/2025\/09\/11\/liberty-university-prays-for-family-of-charlie-kirk-a-friend-fervid-christ-follower-and-defender-of-the-faith\/#:~:text=Parker%20is%20one%20of%20250%2C000,school%20and%20college%20campuses%20nationwide\" target=\"_blank\">with more than<\/a> 250,000 student members nationwide.<\/p>\n<p>Turning Point \u201cis what got me interested in politics,\u201d said 24-year-old White House assistant press secretary Taylor Rogers, who founded Clemson University\u2019s first chapter in the fall of 2020.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThat\u2019s what truly guided my career in politics and where I am now,\u201d Rogers added. \u201cIt was really Turning Point and their resources that were able to jumpstart the career of a young conservative like me.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Kirk has a huge social media platform \u2014 he posted TikTok <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/@thecharliekirkshow?lang=en\" target=\"_blank\">videos<\/a> of him debating college students to more than eight million followers and hosted a popular podcast. It is likely to be hard for the movement left in his wake to replicate the charisma and political organizing skills of Kirk, who also had a direct line to Trump and Vice President JD Vance.<\/p>\n<p>Kirk\u2019s critics noted he utilized provocative language to roil national debate and normalize fringe theories. Some of his <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=WV29R1M25n8\" target=\"_blank\">most memorable exchanges<\/a> come from clips of his inflammatory back-and-forths with liberals over LGBTQ+ rights, restrictions on firearms and gender roles.<\/p>\n<p>Kirk <a href=\"https:\/\/youtube.com\/shorts\/kmcV0r9WIh4?si=yln5URV4z6niWN6O\" target=\"_blank\">once called abortion<\/a> in the U.S. comparable to, or worse than, the Holocaust. He <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mediamatters.org\/charlie-kirk\/charlie-kirk-pushes-great-replacement-conspiracy-they-wont-stop-until-you-and-your?utm_source=chatgpt.com\" target=\"_blank\">promoted the \u201cwhite replacement\u201d conspiracy<\/a>, which baselessly claims that immigrants are replacing white Americans.<\/p>\n<p>Harry Sisson, a prominent online figure in Democratic circles who has drawn the ire of conservatives online, is one of those who commended Kirk\u2019s legacy as an influential defender of open debate.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cCharlie Kirk did welcome debate from anybody,\u201d Sisson, 23, said in an interview. \u201cDo I think he did it in good faith? No. \u2026 But he did encourage debate.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>For college student Matthew Kingsley, his father\u2019s Fox News-informed conservatism didn\u2019t appeal to him while growing up in North Carolina. But he commended how Kirk encouraged young people to do their own research when forming their own political views, and joined his local chapter while in college at University of North Carolina at Charlotte, where he now serves as chapter president as a rising senior.<\/p>\n<p>Kirk\u2019s impact on the young conservative movement has been \u201castronomical,\u201d Kingsley said. \u201cI really don&#8217;t think this is going to stop it at all,\u201d he said. \u201cI think it is actually going to accelerate it.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><i>Liz Crampton contributed to this report.\u00a0<\/i><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Charlie Kirk emboldened a new generation of conservatives.
