Charlie Kirk on MAGA and Young Conservatism

A year after Charlie Kirk’s passing, The Claremont Institute honors his legacy. Ahead of Claremont’s 2025 Statesmanship Award ceremony last July honoring JD Vance, Kirk explained the necessary virtues of a modern statesman. Highlighting the rejection of the global order by Trump and his vice president, Kirk notes their favor of national purpose, non-intervention, and controlled borders. And recognizing that young conservatives are opting to enter public service rather than private careers, he stresses the importance of The Claremont Institute's providing of an intellectual base for the movement, and our successes in dismantling the administrative state.
