Turning Point USA will resume the college tour that its late founder Charlie Kirk started, with conservative speakers scheduled to appear on campuses nationwide, according to The Hill. The organization said the tour will restart Monday at the University of Minnesota. Conservative commentator Michael Knowles will host the event.
Kirk, 31, was shot and killed on September 10 at Utah Valley University, where he had planned the first stop of the “American Comeback Tour.” He is survived by his wife, Erika Kirk, and two children.
Last Thursday, Turning Point USA’s board unanimously elected Erika Kirk as the organization’s new CEO. She is listed as one of the tour’s speakers, but her specific appearances have not been announced.

After Minnesota, the tour will continue to Utah State University, Montana State University, the University of North Dakota, Indiana University Bloomington, Louisiana State University, and the University of Mississippi. Additional stops will include Virginia Tech, the University of Oklahoma, Auburn University, and the University of California, Berkeley, where the tour will conclude on November 10.
