Tens of thousands of Charlie Kirk's supporters will join with top Republican political leaders on Sunday for the funeral of the right-wing activist, less than two weeks after he was killed.
The 31-year-old co-founder of Turning Point USA was a close ally of President Trump and seen as one of the most prominent young leaders within the MAGA movement. His death has reverberated across the Republican Party — from the grassroots through the upper echelons of the White House .
That connection in particular is likely to be emphasized today as both Trump and Vice President JD Vance are set to deliver remarks at his service, along with several other top administration officials. Supporters will also hear from Kirk's widow, Erika Kirk, who on Thursday was named the new CEO of Turning Point.
