Description

The murder of Charlie Kirk sent shockwaves through an already deeply divided America, and the fallout has become emblematic of the country's dangerously high tensions. As the US heads towards midterm elections, could this killing become a rallying cry to galvanise the Republican base? What does this moment reveal about the deep, at times seemingly irreconcilable, fractures in American society? We're joined by Larry Donnelly, a law lecturer at the University of Galway and a political commentator with The Journal, to explain what happens now and how Kirk's death could reshape American politics.
