"Turning Point USA was the brainchild and reflection of Kirk. His loss is a major personal and political blow to Trump and his political team, which relied on his organization to convert, amp up and turn out young voters. "We have four years to turn Trump voters into Republican voters," a top Trump adviser said. "And a big part of that was Charlie. He was the heart of that. Charlie would want us to carry on with his work. And we're going to.""
"Rubio, 54, is the most powerful secretary of state since Henry Kissinger - who, like Rubio, simultaneously served as national security adviser. After the slaying of Kirk, Rubio flexed his ministerial muscle by announcing he'll revoke the visa of any immigrant who mocks or celebrates Kirk's death. Moves like that, Rubio's mammoth policy portfolio, his sense of humor and his depth of both governmental and football knowledge (he's a Miami Dolphins fan) have made him a favorite of Trump's, and a constant presence in the West Wing."
Vice President JD Vance guest-hosted a memorial edition of The Charlie Kirk Show as an early integration of Trump’s operation with Turning Point forces. Turning Point USA was the brainchild of Charlie Kirk and its loss dealt a major personal and political blow to Trump’s team, which relied on the group to mobilize young voters. Vance, viewed as the likely 2028 nominee, is building his national network as RNC finance chair and will campaign ahead of midterms as a warrior against the left. Marco Rubio wields broad influence as secretary of state and is seen as a potential vice presidential option.
