‘The Turning Point’: Requests For Turning Point USA Chapters Soar After Charlie Kirk Assassination

Within days of the assassination of conservative commentator and Turning POINT USA founder Charlie Kirk, the campus organization received more than 32,000 requests for new chapters around the United States.

Andrew Kolvet, producer of “The Charlie Kirk Show,” shared the news in a post on X, saying, “I wanted to share a praise report from TPUSA. The organization has received over 32,000 inquiries in the last 48-hours to start new campus chapters. To put that in perspective, TPUSA currently has 900 official college chapters and around 1,200 high school chapters, with a presence on 3,500 total. Charlie’s vision to have a Club America chapter (our high school brand) in every high school in America (around 23,000) will come true much much faster than he could have ever possibly imagined. Truly incredible.”

The cohosts of “Fox & Friends: Weekend” commented on the dramatic uptick in growth, and Kevin Corke remarked that when all was said and done, Kirk’s real legacy would be all the young people who stepped up and carried the torch now that he was gone.

Speaking with cohosts Lawrence Jones and Rachel Campos-Duffy, Corke explained, “32,000 new chapter requests in just 24 hours. This is an understanding where the real battleground is. It’s not enough to have a wonderful moment — which we will over the next several days, and, obviously, culminating with his service — but it’s more important to really get out there and continue the conversation.”

“This will birth an army of Charlie Kirks, and that will be his lasting legacy,” Corke said.
