Kirk's funeral is expected to bring tens of thousands of his supporters to a stadium in Glendale, Ariz. President Trump will deliver remarks, as will several top White House officials.

Donald Trump credited Kirk with boosting his support among young voters in last year's presidential election, and youth-voter turnout will be critical in the 2026 midterms.

Trump and his cohort launched a broad campaign this week to shame and silence opponents whose reactions to Kirk's murder were deemed unsavory.

Democratic candidate Mikie Sherrill condemned Charlie Kirk’s assassination while criticizing his views, sparking backlash from GOP rival Jack Ciattarelli and renewed debate over political violence and free speech in New Jersey.

Former federal agents fear the potential for other would-be assassins to seek out widely available, decades-old firearms that require only basic proficiency to hit distant targets.

Charlie Kirk’s memorial service is scheduled for Sunday at State Farm Stadium in Glendale, Arizona. The massive event will include speeches from President Donald Trump, Vice President JD Vance, Erika Kirk and others.

Community members, local lawmakers and religious leaders all gathered in Lakeville, Minnesota, with heavy hearts, to remember Charlie Kirk.
