Candace Owens has made a new claim that is now gaining a lot of attention online. He says Erica Kirk may use the recent shooting at the White House Correspondents’ Dinner to derail her ongoing tour with Turning Point USA. This comes at a time when the Spring 2026 Tour is already underway and many college events have already taken place. The incident at the dinner shocked many, especially because top political leaders including Donald Trump, Melania Trump and J.D. Vance were present. Soon after, a video of Erica surfaced in which she looked emotional and said that she just wanted to go home.Although there is no official update regarding any cancellation, Candace Owens shared her thoughts in a clip and clarified that this is her personal prediction. Also, reports of recent incidents are also raising questions over the attendance and reaction of students on the tour.

In a video clip, Candace Owens candidly shared what she thinks could happen next. He said he believed the Erica Kirk shooting incident could be used to stop the tour.Owens said, “I want to make my predictions very quickly about Erica addressing the world about the shooting… I think they’re going to use this now as an excuse to say she’s no longer going to be on tour.”She did not stop here. Candace Owens also talked about the reaction from students at various campuses. According to her, there have been protests and some students were not happy with Erica Kirk hosting even before the event. He suggested that this could also impact ticket sales.“Again, the total guess is, they’re going to have to negotiate on, well, she’s traumatized again by the shooting, and that’s why she’s going to take a step back because the world has become very violent. That’s my prediction,” Owens said.At present these are only his claims. There has been no official confirmation that the tour will be cancelled.Looking ahead to the tour, the Spring 2026 phase started earlier this month. Programs have already taken place at George Washington University, the University of Georgia, Ohio State University, Baylor University and the University of Idaho. The fall leg is planned to begin on September 22, 2026 at the University of Minnesota, Twin Cities. Other stops include Utah State, Virginia Tech and the University of North Dakota.Meanwhile, another moment of the tour has also caught everyone’s attention. JD Vance attended an event at the University of Georgia, but reports say the turnout was not high. Journalist Jake Traylor shared that only about a quarter of the venue was full. He also posted a video on Instagram showing several empty seats inside the arena.Meanwhile, Erica Kirk spoke briefly after the shooting. In a video that surfaced online, she appeared emotional and said she wanted to go home. Later, speaking on Charlie Kirk’s podcast, he said:“Saturday was another painful example of the continued rise of evil and political violence in our country. I am taking time out to spend with my family.The firing itself has led to serious legal action. Officers have taken 31-year-old Cole Allen into custody. He has been accused of attempting to assassinate the President.Despite all this, there is still no official word whether Erica Kirk is canceling or postponing her tour. For now, the events are set, and Candace Owens’ comments remain a prediction, not confirmed news.
