The grassroots army built by Charlie Kirk has seen unprecedented growth in the year since the Turning Point USA founder’s murder, but his death could still prove costly to Republicans in the Midterms, who are bereft of his drive, intellect and energy, pals told The Post. Conservative grassroots and youth movement leaders candidly acknowledge their cause is marching against “headwinds” that have been difficult to navigate since Kirk’s shocking Sept. 10, 2025, assassination, which left operational and intellectual voids that have been a challenge to fill despite the surge in interest in Turning Point USA and conservative political activism over the last year.
