President Donald Trump will lead mourners at the funeral of Charlie Kirk, addressing tens of thousands expected to gather inside State Farm Stadium in Glendale, Arizona.
Lines of mourners snaked outside the venue for hours ahead of the memorial for the conservative firebrand, who was assassinated at Utah Valley University on September 10.
Trump will be joined on stage by Vice President J.D. Vance and senior members of his Cabinet, with security around the stadium described as 'extraordinarily tight.'
Kirk’s widow, Erika, will also deliver a eulogy — just days after it was announced she will succeed her late husband as head of his powerhouse organization, Turning Point USA.
