Vance Accompanies Charlie Kirk's Remains Back to Arizona Following Assassination
Vice President JD Vance accompanied the remains of Turning Point USA founder Charlie Kirk on Air Force Two back to Arizona on Sept. 11, 2025, following Kirk's assassination. Kirk, 31, had built Turning Point USA into one of the largest conservative campus organizing networks in the United States; Vance's personal attendance at the dignified transfer of Kirk's remains reflected the close political relationship between the administration and the organization Kirk founded.
