“They do incredible work with the mobilization and dissemination of voters and the continuation of the vote. And they will be energized. They must be, and that is what Charlie wanted,” said Wiffbaum.

“No one who admires Charlie Kirk is moving away from the election or what we do in youth space. And in many ways, I would not be surprised if they woke up a sleeping giant,” he added.
