The U.S. Senate voted unanimously on Thursday to designate October 14, 2025, the birthday of conservative leader Charlie Kirk, as the National Day of Remembrance for Charlie Kirk, according to Fox News.
The resolution states that the day will be a time for “Americans to reflect on Kirk’s contributions to public debate and civic engagement.”
Lawmakers emphasized Kirk’s lasting role in promoting civic education and national service. The measure encourages schools, civic groups, and individuals throughout the country to observe the day with “appropriate programs, activities, prayers, and ceremonies” that uphold the values of faith, liberty, and democracy, which Kirk strongly supported.
Senator Rick Scott of Florida first introduced the resolution on September 16. Speaking about Kirk, Scott said, “Charlie loved our nation and its founding principles and believed deeply in his faith, in his family, and in the beauty of ideas and discussion.”
Meanwhile, Tyler Robinson, charged with killing Kirk, appeared in court for the first time on Tuesday. Judge Tony F. Graf ruled that Robinson would remain behind bars without bail.
Robinson’s next court appearance has been scheduled for September 29 at 10:00 a.m. local time.
In an earlier development, prosecutors filed seven charges against Robinson, including aggravated murder, felony discharge of a firearm, obstruction of justice, two counts of witness tampering, and committing violence in front of a child.
If convicted of aggravated murder, Robinson could face the death penalty. Utah County Attorney Jeff Gray confirmed his office would pursue capital punishment.
