Conservative firebrand, Candace Owens says she is thinking about running for president in 2024. That would be quite a leap for her since she has never held elective office in her life. While it is true that Donald Trump had never run for office before he had universal name recognition. And although dark horses have won the presidency in the past they have mostly been Democrats including Jimmy Carter and Bill Clinton.
Owens previously worked for Turning Point USA and served as the leader of the BLEXIT movement that sought to convince Blacks to switch parties. It was her contention that the Democrats did not do anything for Blacks unless they were transgender and crossed our borders illegally. On the other hand, President Trump drastically increased aid to Black colleges, instituted prison reform, and created the highly successful Opportunity Zones.
I love America. Thinking about running for President. 🇺🇸

Owens turns 32 in April which would make her eligible to run for president in 2024. She was a journalism major at the University of Rhode Island, but she left before getting her degree. She became known for fighting against cyberbullying and her sharp political commentary. She did not immediately respond to a request for comment. Aubrey Huff, the former two-time MLB World Series champion, has already volunteered to be her vice president.

I used to be a waitress and I worked multiple doubles.
I am laughing out loud at how much of a coastal elitist you have to be to view that as the definition of a hard day at work. Please get on a plane and see the rest of the world (or country) you spoiled rotten brat. https://t.co/Wz6kEp51PH— Candace Owens (@RealCandaceO) December 6, 2020
She’s feuded with a number of public figures, ranging from the rapper Cardi B to New York Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez.
In December, after Ocasio-Cortez claimed Republicans would probably be “crying in the walk-in fridge” if they ever worked a restaurant job, Owens slammed her as a “spoiled rotten brat.”
“I used to be a waitress and I worked multiple doubles,” Owens tweeted at the time. “I am laughing out loud at how much of a coastal elitist you have to be to view that as the definition of a hard day at work. Please get on a plane and see the rest of the world (or country) you spoiled rotten brat.”
Ocasio-Cortez, who also turns 32 this year, would likewise meet the presidential age requirement in 2024.
