What did Candace Owens predict about elections in October 2020?
Candace Owens, Founder of Blexit and conservative commentator ·
I have predicted for the three years we're going to see 20 points in 2020
Trump won 8% of Black voters
Owens predicted 20 points for Republicans with Black voters in 2020. Trump won 8% of Black voters, up from 6% in 2016, short of both a 20% share and a 20-point gain.
Among validated voters, Trump won 8% of Black voters in 2020 (Biden 92%), up from 6% in 2016 (Clinton 91%), so Republicans reached neither a 20% share nor a 20-point gain (Pew Research Center).
