Influencer Jake Paul says Charlie Kirk would have been ‘the next president’
Paul told Theo Von that for Kirk, “Becoming President someday, for Kirk, “was like his job and his purpose and all of that,” Paul told Theo Von, suggesting it would have made more sense than he, a boxer, aiming for the same position. “Charlie Kirk was clearly going to be the next president.”
That’s high praise. But it fits the reality. Kirk built a platform young conservatives rallied behind. He pushed ideas. He moved people. Those are the building blocks of leadership.
Paul is a big name. He has tens of millions of followers. He turned internet fame into a boxing career and real businesses. He’s also aligned with President Donald Trump. At a March 13 rally in Hebron, Kentucky, President Donald Trump offered him a “complete and total endorsement” if he ever ran.
Paul didn’t shy away from the darker side of politics either. He warned that in today’s climate assassination is a real fear. Kirk was shot and killed while speaking at Utah Valley University on Sept. 10. That violence changed everything. It stole a life. It stole the chance to see what he might have become — press secretary, senator, cabinet official, or yes, president.
On his motivations, Paul linked it back to service. He said, “I think it goes back to Marcus Aurelius, of, like, helping society and like that’s the number one thing you can do.” He also admitted the stakes: “dumb— running and opposing, I will enter the game and risk getting assassinated, but I don’t want to.”
That fear is real. So is the grief. Conservatives will feel this loss long-term. Kirk’s supporters will keep his ideas alive. His work with TPUSA energized a generation. That energy doesn’t die with a single act of violence.
Jake Paul is saying what many feel. Charlie Kirk was a force. His death is a national wound. But his influence remains. He’ll be remembered and he’ll keep inspiring future leaders.
