Earlier this week, Turning Point USA revealed that the organization has received an astonishing 32,000 inquiries to start new campus chapters in just 48 hours, according to Charlie Kirk’s executive producer, Andrew Kolvet.
“The organization has received over 32,000 inquiries in the last 48-hours to start new campus chapters. To put that in perspective, TPUSA currently has 900 official college chapters and around 1,200 high school chapters.”
Those numbers far exceed the total number of colleges in America, suggesting that multiple students from the same school—and even multiple schools—are stepping up to carry on the movement. Kirk’s long-term goal was to establish “Club America” in every high school nationwide, about 23,000 in total. What once seemed ambitious now looks increasingly attainable.
The surge comes in the aftermath of Kirk’s assassination, a national shock that has both galvanized supporters and exposed raw hostility. Erika Kirk, his widow, made her first public statement, thanking supporters for their “unimaginable love and prayers.”
At the same time, the left has been vicious. Vandals in Seattle painted “Kill All Charlie Kirks” across a campus sign in the hours after his death. Rep. Ilhan Omar went further, dismissing conservative grief and declaring Kirk’s supporters were “full of s**t.”
Even as law enforcement continues its investigation, the student response has been overwhelming. The flood of new chapter requests makes clear that young Americans are determined to pick up where Kirk left off, ensuring his work doesn’t just continue, but multiplies across campuses nationwide.
