Start at a local race.

No offense but you would harm the ticket. You should run for Congress first and see how that goes.

Absolutely not. Vance will be president in 2028. https://t.co/RsEvMrHoOG

From the New York Post:

Owens is the author of the best-selling book “Blackout,” which makes the case that the Democratic Party has abandoned black Americans over the years and they should leave the party.

She will turn 35, the minimum age required to be president, by November 2024.

More recently, Owens has faced bans from multiple countries.

Owens was denied visas to enter Australia and New Zealand for speaking engagements.

Australia’s immigration minister, Tony Burke, said she had the “capacity to incite discord.”

From the Associated Press:

News of the ruling came weeks after neighboring Australia also rejected her visa request, citing remarks in which she denied Nazi medical experimentation on Jews in concentration camps during World War II.

Owens is scheduled to speak at a series of events in several Australian cities and in Auckland, New Zealand, in February and March next year. Tickets remain on sale and there is no acknowledgement on the promoter’s website that she has been refused entry to both countries.

The commentator, who has more than 3 million followers on YouTube, is accused by her detractors of promoting conspiracy theories and antisemitism and has ignited firestorms with her remarks opposing Black Lives Matter, feminism, vaccines and immigration.

In March, Owens said she had parted ways with the Daily Wire, on which she had hosted an online talk show since 2021, after clashes with its founders over her remarks about Jews and her opposition to U.S. military support for Israel. She was widely criticized for comments in a YouTube video in July that minimized the Holocaust.

Owens had promised Australian and New Zealand audiences a discussion of free speech and her Christian faith when she announced the speaking tour in August.
