Chants of 'Charlie' echoed through the Republican National Committee's midterm convention in Dallas after Donald Trump paused his keynote address to honour conservative activist Charlie Kirk on the eve of the first anniversary of his death. Cameras then turned to Kirk's widow, Erika Kirk, who became visibly emotional as the crowd applauded.
The tribute came one day before supporters gathered for memorial events marking a year since Kirk was fatally shot during a speaking event at Utah Valley University in Orem, Utah. While Trump devoted only a brief section of his nearly two-hour address to Kirk, it became one of the night's most emotional moments and highlighted the enduring influence of the Turning Point USA founder within the MAGA movement.
