Following the murder of rightwing activist Charlie Kirk, Turning Point USA (TPUSA), the influential college group he founded, is receiving a surge in donations from major donors and Trump allies. Donations from individuals like Lynn Friess and increased support from Doug Deason and Tucker Carlson indicate continued financial strength. TPUSA, which reported raising $85m in 2024, is experiencing a growth in new chapters. Experts predict continued strong financial support for TPUSA, viewing Kirk's death as potentially boosting fundraising efforts and solidifying the group's influence within the Republican party.
