A massive memorial service for conservative activist Charlie Kirk is set for Sunday at State Farm Stadium in Glendale, Arizona, drawing tens of thousands, including President Donald Trump, Vice President JD Vance, and other top MAGA figures. Organizers expect the 73,000-seat stadium to be full, with overflow space prepared nearby, according to Turning Point USA spokesman Andrew Kolvet.
Security will be at the highest federal level due to Trump’s attendance and ongoing political tensions. Kirk, 31, founder of Turning Point USA, was assassinated on September 10 during a Utah campus event. Authorities charged a 22-year-old suspect, who allegedly admitted to targeting Kirk over his politics. The killing has fueled debate over rising U.S. political violence and deepened partisan divides.
The memorial, titled “Building a Legacy: Remembering Charlie Kirk,” highlights his impact as a conservative leader. Speakers include Trump, Vance, Secretary of State Marco Rubio, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, and HHS Secretary Robert Kennedy. Kirk’s widow, Erika, recently elected CEO of Turning Point, will also deliver remarks. Trump is expected to praise Kirk as a martyr for the conservative movement and emphasize his role in mobilizing young voters.
Kirk’s assassination sparked controversy beyond politics. ABC suspended late-night host Jimmy Kimmel after remarks about Kirk’s death angered conservatives. The move came hours after FCC head Brendan Carr, a Trump ally, threatened action against the network, raising concerns about free speech. Civil rights groups and Democrats condemned the suspension as unconstitutional censorship.
For many, Kirk was a defining voice in modern conservatism, known for campus debates, media presence, and grassroots organizing. His influence inspired young leaders like Montana state legislator Braxton Mitchell, who credited Kirk with shaping his political path.
Kirk’s legacy continues to energize conservatives nationwide, with Sunday’s service set to be one of the largest political memorials in recent history.
