Conservative commentator Candace Owens tore into Vice President Kamala Harris as the 2024 presidential election heats up, calling her “a little bit uppity.”

“So they, at some point, months ago, made the decision that we’re gonna 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.

By a slim margin, more Democrats support Harris (94%) compared to the percentage of Republicans backing Trump (93%), with Independents favoring Trump by 8 points. Trump maintains 95% of his 2020 supporters, while Harris retains 93% of Biden’s 2020 voters.

New voters, who haven’t participated in the last four general elections, are evenly split at 49% for each candidate, a shift from last month when they preferred Trump over Biden by 7 points, Fox noted.

There is a 22-point gender gap, as men favor Trump by 12 points and women favor Harris by 10, the outlet reported.

In the expanded presidential ballot, both Harris and Trump each receive 45% of the vote, while support for Kennedy is at 6%. The remaining candidates garner 1% each.

Kennedy’s support has decreased from 10% in July and a high of 15% in November 2023. Among those backing Harris in the head-to-head matchup, 7% shift their support to third-party candidates, compared to 9% of Trump supporters who do the same, the poll found.

Harris has a slight edge in personal likability, with a 3-point negative net rating—48% of voters view her favorably, while 51% have an unfavorable opinion. In comparison, Trump is 6 points underwater, with 47% viewing him favorably and 53% unfavorably, although these are his best ratings in over four years.

Both candidates had seen improvements since last month, when Harris had a 10-point negative net rating, and Trump was at a negative 12.
