On March 4, 2025, Owens highlighted recent achievements under the current administration by stating "6 weeks of non-stop wins on border security, energy production, peace through strength, and putting America first."

In his tweet at 19:00 UTC on March 4th, he expressed concern over legislative decisions affecting women's sports: "79% of Americans agree: Men should NEVER be allowed to erase women’s sports." He criticized Senate Democrats for their stance on this matter.
Finally, Owens turned his attention to higher education. At 19:49 UTC on March 4th, he tweeted about the importance of reforming educational institutions: "Higher education should be a pathway to success—not a breeding ground for debt, useless degrees..."
