“Shark Tank” star and investment adviser Kevin O’Leary has warned that if Vice President Kamala Harris were to become president, she could mirror Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s extreme leftist policies. O’Leary suggests that such a shift could lead to a significant decline in America’s status and economy, similar to what has been observed in Canada under Trudeau’s leadership.
O’Leary made the remarks during a Friday interview on NewsNation, where he referred to Harris as the “it kid” but criticized her as a “blank sheet of paper” regarding policy positions. He highlighted that, despite her past extreme left-wing views during her unsuccessful 2020 presidential campaign, she has yet to clearly define her current policies.
“I don’t blame her for not bringing up policy. She should just rant and rave, saying ‘I’m not Trump’ until August 7 because she’s raising so much money,” he said. “But then, she’s got to talk policy, and I don’t know what that looks like, and nobody does because she’s like a blank sheet of paper.”
The last “it kid” in Western policies, he said, was Trudeau. “There’s an example of an ‘it kid’ up in Canada a few years ago, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau,” he said. “Nobody looked at his background. Nobody looked at his policies. He was the ‘it kid.’ That country is on its knees! He wiped it out! Are Americans basically going to hire or basically bring a president that’s another Justin Trudeau?” he asked. “I hope not.
A leading Democratic consultant and operative has dampened a lot of hopes among members of his party who are overly confident about Vice President Kamala Harris’ chances against former President Donald Trump following President Joe Biden’s decision to drop his reelection bid. In an interview with CNN, David Axelrod, who served as an advisor to then-President Barack Obama, said there is a lot of “irrational exuberance” around Harris’ presidential bid and that the race is “Trump’s to lose.”
“And look, she has a lot of momentum. But if you do look at the polling, this is still a really tight race. This is going to be a hard fight for either side — tough based on the numbers we’re seeing right now,” host Jessica Dean said, setting up Axelrod for a response. “100 percent. There’s a lot of irrational exuberance on the Democratic side of the aisle right now because there was despair for some period of time about what November was going to look like,” he began.
“Now people feel like there’s a chance. But it is absolutely Trump’s race to lose right now. He is ahead and he is ahead in most of the battleground states. They are close, they can be won by either candidate. But there’s a lot to be determined in the next 90-whatever days — 96 or what it is left,” he continued. “So yes, I think it’s a wide-open race, but Trump has the advantage right now and nobody should — nobody should be, nobody should be — everybody should be sober about that on the Democratic side.”
