Donald Trump Jr., the son of President Trump, invoked the 2025 assassination of conservative activist Charlie Kirk in a Tuesday post urging voters to hit the polls before they close, according to a report by The Hill.

The Hill reported that Trump Jr. posted an image on the social platform X showing Kirk speaking to a crowd. The outlet said the image appeared to be from the same Utah Valley University event during which the summary's account of the matter continues, but the summary available for this report ends before describing what happened at that event.

The available summary does not include the full text of Trump Jr.'s post, so it does not show any other wording he used beyond the call to vote and the reference to Kirk. It also does not describe any response to the post from campaigns, officials, or the public.

Tara Suter wrote the report, which The Hill published on Tuesday. Because the summary is incomplete, the details of the Utah Valley University event and the rest of the post could not be confirmed from the source material used here.
