When conservatives reflect on American turning point founder Charlie Kirk celebrates his pre-life legacy in Arizona on Sunday, some Republicans think he will help the president Donald Trump Win young voters in 2024.
Former TPUSA staffer Anthony Dewitt explained that the grassroots elements of Kirk’s work may have played a “huge” role in “inspiring young people to go out and vote in 2024.”

“Charlie created something that ultimately improved not only the voices and work at the grassroots level, but also brought up young people like me who just went into politics and gave us something that traditionally only those who had a lifetime in the political field could achieve.”
He continued: “Having young people knock on the door, chase votes, get signatures, sign new voters, attend meetings, is the key to winning the 2024 election.”

On the Michigan battlefield, analysis found that Trump won the age group by 50%, while Harris won 48%. In Arizona, TPUSA is headquartered in Arizona close to 48%, with 51% supporting Harris after surveys.
Trump eventually swept the battlefield countries, including Michigan and Arizona, winning 312 votes and popular votes.

Colin Reed, a Republican strategist based in Washington, D.C., pointed out how Kirk plays a unique role in the party that “expands the tent.”
“It is unthinkable that Republican candidates are almost equal among young voters against a Democratic standardist who has every Hollywood and celebrity representative in the sun, but that’s exactly what’s going on in 2024,” Reed wrote to Fox News Digital.
He added: “Charlie opened the door for young people not only to consider the conservative movement, but to embrace it and advocate for its principles as a ticket to prosperity and happiness.”
