PHOENIX—A wild and bright spectacle. A marketplace of ideas, not to mention right-branded products. An arena of pundit-on-pundit conflict over Israel and other issues, waged for the era of X threads and Instagram reels. A gathering of young Republicans and America First conservatives suffused with Christian themes.
Turning Point USA’s AmericaFest 2025 was many things—and its meaning differed for different people, from the conservative celebrities on stage to the attendees in the stands.
