Trump to honor Charlie Kirk at Arizona memorial, tens of thousands of young conservatives expected to attend

Conservative activist Charlie Kirk is set to be honored Sunday at a massive public memorial service that will include speeches from President Donald Trump and Vice President JD Vance at State Farm Stadium in Glendale, Arizona.

The memorial service for Kirk, who was assassinated on Sept. 10 during the first stop of Turning Point USA's "The American Comeback Tour" at Utah Valley University, is expected to draw tens of thousands of visitors, including senior White House officials and young conservatives influenced by the late 31-year-old.

Trump said he would attend Sunday's memorial in Arizona to honor Kirk, though he admitted "there are no words to really describe what happened."

"He had just an army of young people," Trump said, describing Kirk's influence on young conservatives. "They loved him so much. I mean, they're devastated right now. Everybody is devastated."

Turning Point USA, the organization Kirk founded in 2012, released guidelines Saturday night for those attending the service, including a patriotic dress code and a strict no-bag policy.

The memorial, titled, "Building a Legacy: Remembering Charlie Kirk," will begin at 11a.m. local time (2p.m. ET) and is "first come, first served based on stadium capacity," according to the event website.

State Farm Stadium, home to the NFL's Arizona Cardinals, has fixed seating for 63,400 and can expand to over 73,000 for larger events, according to the venue.
