who will replace charlie kirk

Charlie Kirk, the founder of Turning Point USA and a prominent conservative activist, was tragically shot and killed in September 2025 during a speaking event in Utah. Following his death, there is no official announcement of a direct replacement for him at Turning Point USA. However, his supporters and key donors have pledged to continue his work and build a new younger generation of conservative activists and politicians. Notably, a young conservative politician named Mitchell, who was mentored by Kirk and recently launched a campaign to replace a U.S. Representative, is seen as one of the emerging figures in the movement inspired by Kirk's legacy. Additionally, comedian Curtis Cook has been named to replace Kirk for the remainder of his speaking tour, bringing a different perspective to that role temporarily. In summary, Charlie Kirk's legacy is expected to be carried on by a coalition of young conservatives and Turning Point USA supporters, with no single known direct successor formally named as of now. The movement appears poised to cultivate multiple new leaders among the younger generation of conservative activists and politicians rather than concentrate leadership in a single replacement figure.
