Tucker Carlson and Gov. Mike Braun at Turning Point USA Event
The event, held at the Indiana University Auditorium, featured Tucker Carlson, who appeared onstage with his two Springer Spaniels.
A large crowd of conservatives, recognizable by their red hats, gathered in the auditorium, which was nearly full with approximately 3,000 attendees.
The event was originally scheduled to feature Charlie Kirk, the CEO and co-founder of Turning Point USA, but he was assassinated in September.
Charlie Kirk was seen as instrumental in President Donald Trump winning the 2024 election.
Tucker Carlson's presentation drew campus conservatives and attendees from neighboring states, making for an unusual sight in solid-blue Bloomington.
