PALM BEACH, Florida — Even though President Trump lost his bid for reelection, his influence on the young conservative movement was palpable in Turning Point USA’s Student Action Summit.
Turning Point USA, a conservative nonprofit organization founded by Charlie Kirk in 2012, holds its annual, end-of-year conference each December and often features top-tier speakers, including Trump and Vice President Mike Pence. In years past, the organization focused on a political message aimed at building a youth coalition for Trump’s reelection effort. This year, it focused on principles young conservatives should adopt heading into President-elect Joe Biden’s presidency — Trumpian ideals that promise “Make America Great Again” won’t be just a passing fad.
