The event is taking place at the University of Minnesota, and tonight, the Daily Wire’s Michael Knowles will be the keynote speaker.

The Daily Wire reported more on tonight’s event and TPUSA’s future events on campuses across the United States:

Daily Wire host Michael Knowles has joined the lineup as Turning Point USA announced plans to forge ahead with the campus tour begun by founder Charlie Kirk before his assassination at Utah Valley University on September 10.
The amended schedule was released on Monday, just hours before the first event was to kick off at Minnesota State University with Knowles stepping into the debate tent in Kirk’s place.

The next event, scheduled for Wednesday, will feature Sirius XM podcast host Megyn Kelly and Governor Glenn Youngkin (R-VA). TPUSA will return to Utah with a September 30 visit to Utah State University, and speakers there will include TPUSA’s Alex Clark alongside Sen. Mike Lee (R-UT), Rep. Andy Biggs (R-AZ), and former Rep. Jason Chaffetz (R-UT).

More events are scheduled to follow, with speakers including entrepreneur and former Republican presidential candidate Vivek Ramaswamy, Governor Greg Gianforte (R-MT), radio host Glenn Beck, former Fox News personality Tucker Carlson, Allie Beth Stuckey, Governor Jeff Landry (R-LA), actor Rob Schneider, and Frank Turek.

Knowles spoke about his imminent appearance at University of Minnesota during an appearance on “Fox & Friends First” on Monday.

“I will appear tonight. There will be an empty chair on stage. I will give a tribute to Charlie and then we will open up the floor to an open conversation,” Knowles said of his plans for the event.
