YouTube Description

as posted by the channel

Charlie Kirk's political organization, Turning Point USA, announced on Thursday that his widow, Erika Kirk, will be its next CEO. The entrepreneur and podcaster often appeared with her husband at Turning Point events. In emotional remarks following her husband's assassination last week, she vowed to continue his work. Erika Kirk takes over amid a surge in interest and support for the organization. Charlie Kirk helped build Turning Point into a multimillion-dollar operation that was widely credited with helping Republicans win over young voters in last year's election.
