Kirk is the founder and executive director of Turning Point USA, a conservative youth organization that has become a national juggernaut on the right. He is one of the leading voices of the MAGA movement, and hosts a popular political podcast.

Kirk played a key role in helping propel Trump to a win in the 2024 election: TPUSA launched a “Chase the Vote” effort focused on infrequent voters in certain key states.
