Turning Point USA says it has seen an unprecedented surge of interest in its grassroots network following Erika Kirk’s first public remarks after the assassination of her husband,
Charlie Kirk.
Minnesota State Representative Elliott Engen shared a screenshot on X reporting that the group has received 18,000 new chapter requests since Erika spoke Friday night.
According to the message, TPUSA previously had 9,000 college chapters and 1,100 high school chapters. “This is the Turning Point,” the message read.
Engen’s post quickly spread across the platform, drawing more than 1.2 million views by Saturday morning.
The surge comes as Turning Point USA has vowed to continue Charlie Kirk’s mission through expanded campus tours, upcoming conferences, and daily broadcasts of "The Charlie Kirk Show."
Charlie Kirk’s wife, Erika, delivered her first public remarks on the night of September 12 following her husband’s assassination on Sept. 10. Tributes continue to pour in for the late Turning Point USA founder. Suspect Tyler Robinson is currently in jail, awaiting charges.
