President Donald Trump has awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom, the nation's highest civilian honor, to Charlie Kirk at a White House ceremony on Tuesday.
Kirk, founder of Turning Point USA, was fatally shot on September 10 while speaking at an event at Utah Valley University, a killing that shocked the nation and reignited debates over political violence.
A key figure in conservative politics, Kirk mobilized young voters for Trump's 2024 campaign. Supporters hailed him as a champion of free speech.
Since his death, Trump has called Kirk a "martyr for American freedom" and vowed at his memorial service to carry on his work. In September, both the House of Representatives and Senate approved resolutions declaring October 14 a "National Day of Remembrance for Charlie Kirk."
