Candace Owens has alleged that "Marxist" BLM will force Gavin Newsom to replace Kamala Harris in the Senate and appoint a Black woman. The Black Lives Matter movement had launched a petition on Monday, November 16, where they urged the California governor to appoint another Black woman to fill the vice president-elect's seat.

While speaking to Fox News on Wednesday, November 18, Owens shared, "He will absolutely capitulate because he has no choice in the matter, and I have to say good for Black Lives Matter."

She went on to claim that the organization "views themselves as Marxist" and went on to claim that "they will take what they have to take by force". In the petition, BLM Global network wrote that "appointing a Black woman to this seat is nonnegotiable — this must be done."

The petition added, "If there is not a single Black woman in the Senate, then the Senate is simply not a proper representation of the people." The petition had also shared that it was Newsom's time to deliver by appointing a candidate of its choice saying that the Democratic party had become "reliant on Black voters, particularly Black women".
