On November 5th, Fox News host Jesse Watters will be conducting an exclusive interview with Erika Kirk, the recently appointed CEO of Turning Point USA and wife of the late Charlie Kirk whose assassination was reported in September. This will mark Kirk’s first major media interview since the tragic incident. The interview will be featured on Watters’ show ‘Jesse Watters Primetime.’
The conversation will cover the legacy of her husband, the influence of faith on their lives, and the future direction of their organization, Turning Point USA. As part of the coverage, Watters will also go behind the scenes of Kirk’s activities, including a speaking engagement at the University of Mississippi and events at Turning Point USA’s Arizona headquarters. This will be streamed live and followed by a multi-part documentary series on Friday, November 7th, showcasing the events leading up to and following the assassination.
Following Charlie Kirk’s death, Turning Point USA announced that Erika was ‘unanimously elected’ as the new CEO, with the organization stating this was Charlie’s wish. President Trump also honored Charlie by posthumously awarding him the Presidential Medal of Freedom on October 14th, which would have been Charlie’s 32nd birthday.
Kirk has also expressed gratitude to various figures, including the president, first lady Melania Trump, the vice president, and friends and family
