Days before a memorial service for conservative influencer Charlie Kirk, both the U.S. Senate and House of Representatives passed a resolution declaring October 14 — his birthday — as a National Day of Remembrance.
According to ABC News, the Senate on Thursday unanimously backed the measure, led by Sen. Rick Scott of Florida, who described Kirk as “a good man, a devout husband, father, and friend” while honoring his contributions to civic education.
House Speaker Mike Johnson confirmed that the House also approved the resolution on Friday, though 96 Democrats withheld support. Twenty-two, including former Speaker Nancy Pelosi, staged a walkout ahead of the vote.
