Today on The Black Line Brief, we’re examining Turning Point USA, Charlie Kirk’s legacy, and Erika Kirk’s leadership. We’re looking beyond the branding to discuss the organization’s public messaging…
We'll come back when they are ready, okay? So Erika Kirk, I think, you know, her PR team was like, hey, the Vanity Fair doesn't look good when you asked, or when you were asked a political question about, was it Israel, right? She was asked directly about Israel, and she's like, you know...
Um, I'm really just, you know, so focused on heaven and every decision I make is I put it through the lens of, will this get me closer or farther away from heaven? And so, you know, talking about Israel and politics, um, is going to get me farther away from heaven.
They see the response, the public's reception of an interview, an appearance, a speech, an article, And then they respond to it with, you know, helping Erica dig herself out.
Just over one year since we lost our friend Charlie Kirk, who helped drive voters to the polls in 2024 and find their political calling.
With less than a month until midterm election day, our own Griff got an exclusive look at how Charlie's efforts have grown with his wife, Erika Kirk, continuing the movement as Turning Point CEO.
Watch.
So what is a
ballot chaser? So our ballot chasers are more than just leaving pamphlets at a door.
A lot of our ballot chasers, one of the first contact points they have with voters is going to their home, seeing if they have a flag hanging outside of their front door.
If they don't, then they hand them one.
If they do and it's a little tattered, they get a new one.
So it's really important that we have these little mini points of connection that we make along the way.
And over time, this is more than just doing the work two months before an election.
That does not win elections.
This is years in preparation and being able to get our door knockers to establish those relationships.
