A video featuring Charlie Kirk, recorded just before his tragic assassination, was unveiled during a significant memorial dedicated to a close ally of President Trump and his companions.
“This is the final video we have of Charlie before he was taken from us,” said Turning Point Action’s Tyler Bowyer, who shared a clip late on Tuesday.
The footage showcases Kirk, the founder of the influential Turning Point USA, urging Arizona residents to register to vote ahead of the 2026 gubernatorial race.
“It’s game time, Arizona,” Kirk emphasized. “But you can’t play unless you’re on a team. Subscribe to vote now and establish your early voting game plan. The 2026 election is like Arizona’s championship game, and it’s crucial for everyone to be involved,” he stated in the video.
“Next year’s election in Arizona is a chance to change the tide, but it starts with prepping for the vote. Arizona aims for victory,” he added at the end of his message.
Bowyer shared that he anticipated launching the video on National Voter Registration Day. “Honor Charlie by taking just a couple of minutes to renew your registration or help friends and family sign up,” Bowyer encouraged alongside the clip.
Kirk created Turning Point USA when he was just 18, earning recognition from President Trump for inspiring young Republicans and helping secure the 2024 election.
Trump is slated to speak at a grand memorial for Kirk at the 63,000-capacity State Farm Stadium in Glendale, Arizona, this Sunday.

Vice President JD Vance is also expected to address the memorial service after having hosted a weekly show from the White House honoring a friend who passed away recently.
Other notable speakers include Kirk’s widow, Erica, along with various prominent Trump administration figures such as Robert F. Kennedy Jr., Marco Rubio, Pete Hegseth, and Stephen Miller.
Kirk, a father of two, was fatally shot last Wednesday while speaking at a Turning Point USA event at Utah Valley University.
The alleged shooter, 22-year-old Tyler Robinson, made his first court appearance on Tuesday after being apprehended following a two-day manhunt.
