From Fox News: Vice President JD Vance is set to take questions at a Turning Point USA event at the University of Mississippi on Wednesday in honor of his late friend, Charlie Kirk.
Vance will be joined by Turning Point USA President Erika Kirk, Kirk’s widow, as part of the “This Is the Turning Point” campus tour. Erika Kirk is expected to introduce Vance before he takes questions and holds discussions with students in the style popularized by her husband.
Admission to the event is free, but participants are required to register in advance before attending, with students receiving priority entry. Attendants will also go through what organizers described as “TSA-style screening and magnetometer checks” once the doors open at 3 p.m. CT. The event is scheduled to begin at 5 p.m. CT.
People began lining up for the “sold-out” event Thursday morning, where the audience is expected to be about 9,000. One America News posted a video showing an endless line of people waiting in the rain.

After TPUSA founder Charlie Kirk was assassinated on September 10, the organization vowed the college campus tour he had set up for this fall would go on.
Various conservatives close to Kirk have stepped in to take his place at the events across the nation. However, Fox News explained:
The Ole Miss event is the only Turning Point USA event that Erika Kirk will attend on the campus tour. She will later conduct her first sit-down interview since her husband’s assassination with Fox News host Jesse Watters, set to air on Nov. 5.
