Thousands of people will attend the memorial service of conservative activist Charlie Kirk today in Glendale,
Arizona.
NPR's Elena Moore reports the 31-year-old was shot to death on the campus of Utah Valley University earlier this month.
Charlie Kirk was the co-founder of Turning Point USA.
He was a close ally of President Trump and one of the most prominent young leaders within the MAGA movement.
His assassination has reverberated across all levels of Republican politics,
from the grassroots conservative space all the way to the White House.
It's a connection likely to be emphasized at his funeral,
where both Trump and Vice President JD Vance will speak.
Supporters will also hear from Kirk's widow Erica Kirk,
who on Thursday was named the new CEO of Turning Point and has vowed to keep her late husband's movement alive.
