“The organization has received over 32,000 inquiries in the last 48 hours to start new campus chapters.”
Turning Point USA says interest in forming new chapters has surged in the wake of founder Charlie Kirk’s assassination, with tens of thousands of inquiries submitted in just two days.
Andrew Kolvet, a spokesperson for the organization, posted on X on Sunday, Sept. 14, that TPUSA had logged more than 32,000 requests within 48 hours. The group currently maintains about 900 college chapters and 1,200 high school chapters nationwide.
Kolvet said the growth reflects Kirk’s longtime vision for a Club America chapter—the group’s high school brand—at every high school in the United States, estimated at roughly 23,000. “Charlie's vision… will come true much, much faster than he could have ever possibly imagined,” Kolvet wrote.

View on X"I wanted to share a paise report from TPUSA. 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, with a presence on 3,500 total. Charlie's vision to have a Club America chapter (our high school brand) in every high school in America (around 23,000) will come true much much faster than he could have ever possibly imagined," Kolvet's post reads.
Kirk founded TPUSA in 2012, building it into the most visible conservative youth organization in the country. The group regularly hosts conferences, organizes campus events, and produces media, including The Charlie Kirk Show. Its efforts closely align with the MAGA movement and were credited with helping galvanize support for Donald Trump’s 2024 campaign.

In her first public remarks after her husband’s death, Erika Kirk said the tour would continue and her husband's podcast and radio program would remain active. The next stop is scheduled for Sept. 18 at Colorado State University in Fort Collins.
A public memorial for Kirk is set to be held in Arizona on Sept. 21, according to TPUSA.
