"I spoke with we talk to the president from time to time, I certainly spoke with the president after Butler, Pennsylvania, to call and offer my condolences and I did the same thing last night because I knew he was close to Charlie. And he said Charlie was a great man, he talked about how he was a singular talent for this time, especially for the conservative movement."
"And President Trump even talked about how Charlie Kirk played a huge role in helping him get elected: The voter registration drives, going to college campuses. You know before the election we were talking about how Republicans were depending on young men to get out to the election. And, you know, that hardly ever happens. It's usually you focus on older, older voters to get out to the polls and vote high propensity voters."
President Donald Trump credited Charlie Kirk with mobilizing young voters and helping secure his 2024 victory during a private condolence call following Kirk's assassination. Charlie Kirk co-founded Turning Point USA and organized conservative advocacy on college campuses nationwide. Joe Scarborough called Trump to offer condolences and relayed that Trump described Kirk as a singular talent for the conservative movement and a great man. Trump attributed unexpectedly high turnout among younger men and college students to Kirk's voter registration drives and campus outreach. The shooting occurred during a speaking event at Utah Valley University, where Kirk was fatally shot.
