Candace Owens Could Be The Wildcard Candidate To Help Republicans Take Back The White House
Political commentator, BLEXIT co-founder, and "fringe conservative" (according to fringe leftist Sarah Burris of Raw Story) Candace Owens is considering a run for the Oval Office in 2024.
I love America. Thinking about running for President. 🇺🇸

In 2020, Owens expressed interest in running for a Senate or Governor seat, but now she has her eyes set on a bigger prize.
A New York Times best-selling author, Owens would meet the minimum age requirement of 35 to run for the 2024 Presidential Election. She becomes another name in a potentially star-studded Republican field to take back the White House from President Biden.
The list of probable and rumored names in front of her is quite stout: former President Trump sits atop the list, then there is Texas Senator Ted Cruz, Missouri Senator Josh Hawley, South Dakota Governor Kristi Noem, Fox News commentator Tucker Carlson, former Secret Service agent Dan Bongino, former Vice President Mike Pence, a Trump offspring in either Donald Jr. or Ivanka, and RINOs Mitt Romney and Nikki Haley. Candace Owens would have to run a nearly flawless campaign to find herself on the debate stage with Kamala Harris in 2024. However, the former University of Rhode Island journalism undergrad has a few checkmarks in her favor that her contemporaries don't.
First, she would shatter all of the identity politics talking points from the left.
Democrats love to tout the gender, race, and ethnicity of their representatives rather than drawing attention to that person's resume. For example, Biden's nominee to lead the Department of Health and Human Services, Xavier Becerra, is heralded by Dems because of his Mexican heritage, ignoring his checkered track record as California Attorney General. He was the mastermind behind the state's massive lockdowns that led to its economic collapse and subsequent mass migration from the state. As one Republican aide told Fox News, "He will make your life worse...To the extent he was involved with the pandemic in California, he laid the legal groundwork for lockdowns and closing houses of worship. Becerra owns all of that."
Candace Owens should be the diverse presidential candidate that people on the left would champion. They won't because she is conservative and diversity only counts if you are a Democrat. Owens is black and of Caribbean American heritage. She is a...she, a woman. Owens is also married to George Farmer, who happens to be white, a mother, and a self-made entrepreneur. If Owens were to become President, she would be the youngest in the nation's history. Republicans could use Owens to flip the identity politics narrative against the Democrats and score a much-needed victory in the culture war. Imagine what a great example she would be to all the young black girls in America!
Second, Owens would shine on the debate stage. As evidenced by her viral Instagram videos regarding George Floyd and Cardi B, she can dissect her opponent and thoughtfully articulate her points in a fiery but digestible manner. On the Republican stage, she could probably hold her own with Trump or Pence, both of whom are excellent debaters, especially the latter. Owens versus Harris or Biden would be similar to prime Michael Jordan in a one-on-one basketball game versus the local gas station clerk. Owens is what one would call a common-sense conservative. No need to use big, multi-syllabic words to appear more intelligent. Just straight sensible talking points. Check out this debate over voter "suppression" on an episode of The Candace Owens Show:
Trump, Cruz, Hawley, and even Carlson would make better overall candidates for the presidency in a few years, but Candace Owens possesses a unique niche that could propel her to the White House.
