Erika Kirk says presidential library-style tribute to Charlie Kirk is 'in the works' as TPUSA expands

Erika Kirk said a presidential library-style tribute to Charlie Kirk is in the works as TPUSA expands across high school and college campuses.

Erika Kirk says plans for a permanent memorial honoring her late husband, Charlie Kirk, are "in the works" as she oversees what the organization describes as Turning Point USA's rapid expansion on high school and college campuses nationwide.

"I want to make sure that it's something where our students that are currently in chapters, one day, their children will be chapter leaders or chapter members," Kirk told Fox News' Griff Jenkins.

Kirk gave the "Fox & Friends Weekend" co-host an exclusive tour of Turning Point USA's Arizona headquarters in a segment that aired Friday on "Fox & Friends," offering a behind-the-scenes look at the organization's growth and the spaces where she preserves her husband's memory.

Kirk also discussed plans for a memorial beyond the existing tributes.

When asked whether she could envision building a presidential library-style tribute to her husband, Kirk said the organization was already considering the idea.

"It's on our list, and it's something that we have in the works," she said.

The proposed tribute would build on memorial displays already housed at Turning Point USA's headquarters, where Kirk has preserved handwritten letters and Bibles sent by supporters, along with personal items her husband left behind.

Among the reminders is Charlie Kirk's office, where notes remain on his desk and his chair sits empty.

"My kids are the only ones that sit in it," Kirk said.

Kirk also said her husband left behind outlines of his vision for Turning Point USA, which she said continues to guide the organization after his death.

"I'm just so blessed and grateful that Charlie left with us hundreds of his journals," she said. "He wrote down a lot about the future of Turning Point and the vision of Turning Point."

Turning Point USA says student involvement has increased as the organization expands its presence on high school and college campuses nationwide.

"Students were everything to Charlie," Kirk said.

"This was his mission ground, was to be able to touch the hearts and minds of the students, and he did that. And through our amazing team that we have, we're continuing to do that."
