Mr Kirk, 31, a Trump ally and co-founder of the right-wing youth organisation Turning Point USA, was gunned down in Orem, Utah, in September.

He and wife Erika had two children, a boy and a girl, and Mrs Kirk told how they wanted a large family, with two more.

During an onstage interview with US podcast host Megyn Kelly, she said: "I was praying to God that I was pregnant when he got murdered."
