PoliticsMidterms 2026: Turning Point and the fight over Charlie Kirk’s legacy

One year after Charlie Kirk’s death, the number of US universities with Turning Point chapters had risen by 64 percent. Yet divisions have emerged within the group and the broader MAGA movement: far-right figures are competing for Kirk’s legacy, while conspiracy theories about his death circulate. With the midterms approaching, France 24 visited Phoenix, Arizona, where Turning Point was founded, to explore activists’ views of the conservative youth movement’s future and who might succeed Kirk.
