Following the assassination of Turning Point USA founder Charlie Kirk, the organization has seen a surge in donations, including a $1 million pledge from Lynn Friess. TPUSA's 2024 fundraising more than doubled its 2020 total, reaching roughly $85 million. The organization's large memorial service for Kirk drew 90,000-100,000 attendees and millions more via online streams. Kirk's widow, Erika, has displayed remarkable grace, while a House vote honoring Kirk's legacy was met with partisan division.
