have to get rid of him, but we want to wait until we’re close to the conventions so that we can select who we want. I personally think they want a Governor Whitmer. I personally think that they want a Gavin Newsom,” Owens began.
They do not want Kamala Harris, and so this convention is going to get interesting. I’m not buying all of this rhetoric of everyone saying, ‘I’m — I stand with her,’” she added.
Owens continued, “They have to say that, and then I think some calls are going to be made. I think it is entirely plausible that they put somebody else in there that they actually want and can control because Kamala is a little bit uppity. And what I mean by that is she has an attitude, and she gets stubborn, and she has not been as malleable as a Biden or Clinton-type person would be. So keep your eyes and keep your eels — ears peeled because, there is more drama. As I said, no one’s sleeping until November.”
WATCH:
Owens’ comments come as former President Donald Trump has retaken a lead over Harris in a broad new national survey, a potential indicator that her “honeymoon” period with voters saw her close the gap with her GOP opponent after President Joe Biden dropped out of the race in July could be waning.
According to a newly released Fox News poll, Trump bested Harris by a slim 1-point margin, 50-49 percent, which is well within the poll’s margin of error. Last month, the results were identical in terms of margins: Harris was behind Trump by one point, 48-49%—as was President Joe Biden, with the same 48-49% result.
Since the last poll, several high-profile events have occurred. Trump has survived an assassination attempt, chosen Sen. J.D. Vance as his running mate, and formally received the Republican nomination at the party’s convention.
Meanwhile, the Democrats have seen significant changes, removing Biden from the ticket and nominating Harris, who did not receive any primary votes.
