US media maintained its extensive focus on the Charlie Kirk assassination. The day began with numerous reports on prayer vigils and conservative figures speaking. By late morning, discussions shifted to the suspect's non-cooperation and a DNA match, with conservative outlets emphasizing the alleged leftist motive. Early afternoon saw authorities confirm DNA evidence linking the suspect, Tyler Robinson, to the crime scene, alongside reports of a TikTok deal framework between the US and China. In the evening, news broke of Robinson's alleged Discord confession, prompting increased White House threats of crackdowns on liberal groups, framed by conservative media as a response to political violence.
