Turning Point USA, the conservative youth organization that Charlie Kirk turned into a political juggernaut, will convene its flagship conference on Thursday for the first time since the assassination of its charismatic founder, testing the durability of a fractious movement that helped return President Donald Trump to the White House.
Kirk served as a unifying figure on the American right, marshaling college students, online influencers and Republican politicians. But now the party’s populist wing is skirmishing over the meaning of “America First” and the future of a decade-old movement defined more by the force of Trump’s personality than loyalty to a particular ideological project.
Thousands of people are expected to gather for the four-day meeting in Phoenix. Vice President JD Vance, media personalities and a handful of Trump administration officials are slated to appear, plus Christian rock bands and pastors. Attendees will have the chance to take selfies with popular figures and participate in discussions about political organizing, religion and conservative critiques of American culture.
Charlie Kirk’s widow, Erika, will have a prominent role as the organization’s new leader. The conference promises to be an extended tribute to her husband, who many on the right see as a martyr for conservatism and Christianity after he was slain at only 31 years old.
Guillory's The Wedding Date, published in 2018, launched a six-book series and quickly became a favorite among romance readers. The story centers on Alexa Monroe and Drew Nichols, two strangers who meet in an elevator and agree to attend a wedding together. What starts as a practical arrangement soon turns into something more complicated and emotionally charged, a setup well-suited to Netflix's global audience.
The announcement reinforces the Sussexes' continued relevance at the streamer. Their 2022 docuseries Harry & Meghan remains Netflix's most-watched documentary debut to date, while projects like Live to Lead, Heart of Invictus, and Polo have broadened their portfolio. Meghan's lifestyle series With Love, Meghan and upcoming projects further signal ambition.
