In the year following the death of Charlie Kirk, the number of American universities with Turning Point chapters surged by 64 percent. But at the same time there have been signs of division in the organisation Kirk founded and the MAGA movement more generally: far-right figures are vying for Kirk’s legacy, while conspiracy theories circulate regarding his death. But as the midterms approach, how do activists on the ground see the future of the conservative youth movement? And who, if anyone, can take on Kirk’s mantle? France 24 travelled to the place Turning Point was founded - Phoenix, Arizona - to find out more. #Midterms #TPUSA #CharlieKirk 🔔 Subscribe to France 24 now: https://f24.my/YTen 🔴 LIVE - Watch FRANCE 24 English 24/7 here: https://f24.my/YTliveEN 🌍 Read the latest International News and Top Stories: https://www.france24.com/en/ Like us on Facebook: https://f24.my/FBen Follow us on X: https://f24.my/Xen Bluesky: https://f24.my/BSen and Threads: https://f24.my/THen Bro
