Turning point USA holds first convention since founder’s death

People gathered this week at the Phoenix Convention Center for AmericaFest, the first major Turning Point USA convention since the assassination of founder Charlie Kirk. The four-day event focused on maintaining unity amid leadership changes and internal pressures from groups such as the "Third Term Project." 

." Vivek Ramaswamy, Former Republican Presidential Candidate said  "I think right now we're at a fork in the road and I think that there are competing visions for the future of the right. I think it's great for us to have that conversation."

The convention featured discussions on conservative values and internal debates, while online reactions remained mixed, with strong support from older attendees but also criticism.
