Who will be attending Charlie Kirk’s funeral?
President Donald Trump and high-level administration and Republican party officials, along with top political influencers are expected to be attending Charlie Kirk’s memorial service.

Vice President JD Vance is also expected to attend the service.
Who is Charlie Kirk?
Kirk was most known for founding Turning Point USA, a group aimed at promoting conservative political positions on school campuses.
Turning Point USA, and a number of its sister organizations under the Turning Point Brand, are nonprofit groups that work to elect young Republican candidates to office and encourage conservative values in high schools, colleges and in churches.
Kirk became the face of a young Republican movement, supporting grassroots efforts to bring new blood into the party.
The 31-year-old began his political rise in 2012 at age 18 when he was scouted by Tea Party activist Bill Montgomery while speaking at Benedictine University’s Youth Government Day as a high school student. Montgomery convinced Kirk to put off college and pursue activism full time, with the pair launching Turning Point USA shortly after.
Kirk’s outspoken support of President Donald Trump’s policies made him a hero to some young Republicans and drew the ire of Democrats who say he is arguing in bad faith.
He publicly promoted conspiracies, including falsely claiming the 2020 election was stolen from Trump and boosting unsubstantiated rumors.
