Vice President JD Vance will host an edition of "The Charlie Kirk Show" on Monday in tribute to the conservative activist who was assassinated at a university event last week at 31.

Announcing the move on X on Sunday night, Vance said hosting the show would be an honor and an opportunity to "pay tribute to my friend." The show will be posted at noon ET.

Vance has already paid tribute to Kirk as a key figure in the MAGA movement and credited him with helping him become vice president and introducing him to President Donald Trump.

Vance and his wife, Usha Vance, were close to Kirk and accompanied his casket on a flight to Phoenix last Thursday, a day after the assassination.

Turning Point USA, the influential youth-focused political group founded by Kirk, will hold a memorial service for him at State Farm Stadium in nearby Glendale on Sunday, Sept. 21.
