"Newsom's post follows Kirk being shot in the neck at an event at Utah Valley University, located in Orem, Utah. The Democratic governor's post also comes after the 31-year-old Kirk was Newsom's first guest on his podcast earlier this year. Both men, despite their political differences, have had nice things to say about one another, both during and after their podcast conversation."
"Beyond Newsom, Vice President JD Vance asked his followers on X to say a prayer for Kirk, whom he called a genuinely good guy and a young father. And President Donald Trump echoed Vance soon after, posting on Truth Social: We must all pray for Charlie Kirk, who has been shot. A great guy from top to bottom. GOD BLESS HIM!"
"Kirk was rushed to a local hospital after the shot, which one attendee told Fox News came right after Kirk was asked about transgender shooters. He is the founder of Turning Points USA, a conservative nonprofit organization, and one of the more well-known conservative influencers in the country, with 16 million combined followers and subscribers across Instagram, X, and YouTube."

Kirk has about 16 million combined followers across Instagram, X, and YouTube.
